Suspension Questions

So i have a 2003 TLP and i would like to get it lowered ive seen a couple of old posts about suspension but they dont have all my questions answered, from what i gathered a good set up would be springs and struts but what are dampers?? and do camber kits ruin tires? also i would like to have my tires flushed out to the side of my car not sticking out but just enough to look clean i heard to stay away from wheel spacers is there any other options??

see threads on tein struts, and how to flare fenders in the DIY section
also look in the black market section sponsored sales for our vendor-sponsors threads on various products.
The private sales area is for members letting go of good parts, might find a set of tein struts there..strut includes spring-shock and tophat..

I run tein SS with adjustable dampening and as all tein- adjustable lower spring perch height so you can change the total ride height and each wheel clearance as needed

Camber kits restore perfect 0 degree camber and remove tire wear
when you lower more than 1.5 inches the camber exceeds 1.5 degree negative and will eat tires
rear camber is the biggest issue and the cheapest fix!
a little negative camber in front helps the car turn in to the corner
