Talking Bought Rims for my CLP need suspension advice

Hey All.
I just purchased a set of Kazera KZ-S 18*7's for my CLP with Bridgestone Potenza S-03, damn tires cost more than the F@#$&%$ rims. Now looking to lower it to get rid of the ugly fender gap.
I was planning to do a Comptech drop(springs) (keeping the stock shocks)and wanted to know if I would need to purchase a camber kit? Also, where can I get the best price on both springs and the camber kit, if necessary.

Don't know about the new comptechs, but them rusted sporings from the earlier comptech didn't need them. I think if it's more than a 1.5" drop, you'll need them just to preserve the tires. OOOOOR you could just unmount the tires when the inside wears out and remount them the other way.

Thanks RonDog, That's what I figured, I'll need to find out what the drop is with the Comptech's. Comptech's website has conflicting data, One product overview page says a 1-1.5 drop and if you click on the product it says 1.7.

18*7.5 Inspyre's were my first choice, but with a kid on the way and a house to buy in the next couple of months, the wife won't approve the PR.

Thanks
