Re: how low should i go? (01nhbgsr)
what about 2 
Camber plates can create another problem called bump steer, not a good thing.
Bump Steer is when your wheels steer themselves without input from the steering wheel. The undesirable steering is caused by bumps in the road interacting with improper length or angle of your suspension and steering linkages.
Most car builders (ie: Acura/Honda) design their cars so that the effects of bump steer are minimal. However, make sure that you are always using the correct components for a particular car (springs included). Bump steer must be designed into the car and cannot be adjusted out if improper parts are used or if pivot points are moved without considering bump steer design principles
Hope this helps.

i dont really know much about cambers and stuff, but one thing i know is that the wheel tilts out of the fender. so once it sticks out will it be fixable as in like you can make em stright again?

check http://www.groupbuycenter.com, they always got camber kits there. I think they usually go for 150-200. Gotta get one myself one of these days.

I dropped mine 2in and it rides like ****, mad bump steer, tires are getting ate away, etc. It looks great but it's not worth the shitty ride and steering. I'd say go 1.5 or maybe 1.75 but not 2.

It all depends on your intentions, thats something we cant decide for you. Show? then drop it like it aint no thang
Performance? 1.5"-2"
Personally I ride on Eibach Sportlines/kyb agx and love the setup. Just about 2" drop after it settled and rides smooth as butter compared to a lotta of other peoples cars ive ridden in. The drop looks great and performance wasnt sacrificed for it, I havent had any major camber issues either.
