In need of suspension info

I have a 2010 SH-AWD TL. I just recently bought some BC coilovers. I'm going to lower it about 1.5 to 2 inches depending on how my 20x10 offset 40 sit. I don't plan on slamming it due to it being my daily and the shitty Louisiana roads. I would like to buy all the appropriate items before I bust it wide open and do the install. I'm just looking for a slight drop where it looks clean and still feels somewhat stock. I plan on buy a camber kit too. I just had a few questions.

-What would be an appropriate height for lowering for not cambering as much if I didn't have to buy a camber kit?

-What damping settings are good for a stock like ride?

-What's the difference between Spec D, Ingalls, SPC, J-Power camber kits besides the "you get what you pay for"?

-Do I need the front camber kit too? Some peoples on the 4G group says I don't, why?

If anyone has some pics of a 1.5 to 2 inch drop with 20''s could you post it up? I would like to see how it sits. Thanks! You're awesome and have a wonderful day!

1 to 1.5 inches

Not sure probably in the middle somewhere, drive it and find out

No idea, I'm in the market for some camber kits so I would like to know aswell.

-Do I need the front camber kit too? Some peoples on the 4G group says I don't, why?
You might need it or you might not. Lowered it, get an alignment done and you will find out.. I need one just for my front right. Not the front left. Why? I'm not sure.

If anyone has some pics of a 1.5 to 2 inch drop with 20''s could you post it up?

1.5" would the the lowest I would go. I had that drop with -2.5 camber in the rear and tires still looked brand new after a year

Since you got the Accord BC coils, hard to say. I would finish the install with the back seat out and play with the dampening until you have it where you want.

You probably won't, but every car comes out different. I had H&R Springs and Ksport coils and they settled to -1.5 camber left and right. As long as your toe is correct, you won't need a front camber kit.
