^camber kits are advised for big drops, 1.5" or more and can be determined if you really need it after you get an alignment done.
putting coilover sleeves or springs which lower your car will put more stress on your shocks as they sit lower than they are supposed to. Therefore not good for your shocks, if your thinking bout lowering on a budget i'd just get some springs, check the n00b guide for choices. Or excelerate did have an offer for some shocks and springs for a pretty good price

this is just the knowledge that i have learned from AZine and other ppl, if someone has other info to add or anything that i have said wrong i'm sure it would be greatly appreciated by the OP for some more replies
