well it all depends if you want a neg. camber if so then you dont need a camber kit and also how low your going. If your worried about your tire wear well the camber has little to no effect on it unless your wheel is more than -3.5 or more in camber than you will see some wear your toe is the determaning factor of your wear of your tire. A lot of people get camber kits thinking that they HAVE to have it and you dont im running about -2 (front)camber on mine and love the way it looks the back is -2.4 or something like that (no camber kit on back and still no wear on tire whatsoever 4 months now) Just make sure you get an alignment and you will be good to go.

I want to get some kind of coilovers, I live in the "rough" roads of ohio, so would F&F1 or 2 be better? I saw 1's for $630.00 is that $630.00 EVERYTHING that is needed to install them and drop the ride? I've got about $500.00 and this wouldn't be a bad place to start modding my ride, I hate the height of it the most.

Do they really ride that good?? I hate that dribble feeling

So can we say FF'S 2 are like TEIN SS, and FF1's like BASIC??

i think the adjustability is much better on the FF's if im not mistaken... supposedly can lay frame all the way down... i've seen people on TEIN's that are all the way down that dont look low at all...

idk though, could be wrong...

Yup, you can lay the car on the floor.

This was the factory setting out of the box. And there was still a good couple inches to drop.
