Calesta,
Have you had any problems with your seals or bushings on your Skunk2 camber kit?* mine were shot and it took 4 months for Skunk2 to send me new bushings, which I never installed, I bought a new set of stock control arms and raised the car back up about an inch. So if you ever need new bushings let me know..
What seals? No, I never had any problems. It rides just like stock. No bushing damage, and I have no idea what you're talking about with seals.

Im talking about the protective boot on the ball joint. If you're not taking care of them twice a year with lube they will fail. I didnt know of this until mine failed. the rubber that they use is thin.

mine did, but its nothing major, just keep an eye on it. I dont know what you mean by failing? I've been driving w/ it like this for about 6 months so far and was gonna take care of it, but my mechanic ended up telling me its nothing and very common..

I was just talking about the rubber boot failing (cracking, tearing, falling apart).

I like my drop but I rub a little bit. I am going to raise it up some. It is the Koni RSK kit and I got it for $480.

I cant wait to get everything i need and get it on... only problem is that my dad is afraid that everything in the world will go wrong with how its all compressed and it will fly off and kill someone... Hes getting closer to giving in though. I plan on getting Neuspeed Sports Springs on good ol' Tokico HPs, does anybody have the springs?

I know a lot of people that are happy with Neuspeed springs. Just make absolutely sure that you get new stiffer shocks with them because otherwise you'll have a bouncy ride!

If you're going to replace both the shocks and springs at the same time, tell your dad that there's no need to worry. You don't need to remove the springs from the shocks- just pull the shock/spring from the car in one piece, then set aside and install the aftermarket stuff. You won't even need a spring compressor. Removing springs from shocks is what's dangerous, and you won't be doing that at all.
