Do you drive the car daily? It depends on how low you want to go. Mine isn't dropped more than 2", but it looks/rides great.

yes, I drive it daily...
If I drop it 2"...:
1. Would I need the camber kit right away?
2. Would I need front and back?
3. What would you recommend?

Mine's supposedly rated 1.8" all around, and I don't have a camber kit. If you're getting coilovers, though, I would also recommend getting a camber kit (front at least, do the rear camber washer trick on H-T) so you have adjustability if you ever want to go lower.

I jsut want to go a certain drop and that's it. i don't want to go through the trouble of raising it and dropping it. I just picked coilovers cause their fun to ride...
So u think a front camber will be enough?

I think you should be fine without it with only a 2" drop, but I would get a front camber kit and do the rear fix as seen on H-T.

I have seen a couple of kits:

1.the one that looks like a fork that replaces the control arms.
2.the one that is a like a set of 4 for the front and 2 for the rear.

which one should I get, considering there are no tracks in south florida that I know of, so i won't be abusing my car as much...

the one that looks like a fork is the most common front one i believe. And you can fix the rear camber by just adding some stronger bolts and a couple washers where the camber kit would go.

Cool, I ordered the upper control arm already, so I should be set with the suspension upgrade.

whenever I want to go faster, I will tighten the chasis, but thanks anyway...

I'll probably post pics after I drop it
