Comptech will give you a nice drop, and you might not need a camber kit, but as people have said previously, the camber kits are "car specific", some people need them while others don't. If you have the money, maybe getting in on the group buy of Tein coilovers in the black market section would be a good idea, that way you can control the drop and also get a camber kit in a few months and drop it lower if you like.

You will have various opinion as to which drop is the best.... it all depends on how low you would like your car.. I believe comptech is around 1.5" in the front and an 1" in the back... I personally bought the H&R 51858, since I wanted to have a more agressive drop. The drop is 1.75" F and 1.5" R... As anothercls said coilovers are another option all depends on what you would like...

I read the following article which gave me a better understanding:

Hope it helps..

I got 18 inch rims on my ride and I want to drop it, but not that much. I'll probably go with Comptech. Will I need to get a camber kit?
