not recommended. anything ~2" or more I'd say you should look into camber correction.

i definately wouldn't recommend it. Race drop low so you'll definately need a camber kit

h&r race are definately out of the question. you will need some good shocks, illuminas, or koni yellows, or kyb agx's.

actually i wouldn't go with the KYB's. They're good shocks (i have them with my sports) but they're not recommended for such a drop

The Sports blew my shocks in about 4 days, and I didn't drive hard or anything. So the Races will definitely blow them.

If i remember correct the KYB warranty is voided if the drop exceeds 1.5 or 1.75 can anyone verify that?

Stock shocks are going to be very very bouncey and ride quality is going to suffer.

I wouldn't say you need a camber kit. Some camber is good for traction, and its really not that bad on tire wear compaired to toe.

Just get a good alignment and make sure to take the toe out, and rotate your tires regularly. You should be fine.
