yes, you will need new shocks. and chamber kit is good to get if your lowering your car 2.0 or more unless you want your tire to warn up fast like in 2 months so if i were you, i wouldnt install it if your gonna lower it 2.0 or more. get all your stuff ready then do it.

depends... i am on H&R stage 2 springs... approx 1.3 drop. the alignment guy said i was 1 degree off in the rear... the front... i got camber kit so it fixed all the problems. i presonally recommend camber kit if you are gonna lower your car. some people say a +1 degree on your camber will allow better handling... but since you are gonna drop 1.5 inch or so... you should get it. oh yeah... i was on coilovers prior to the springs..... i hated teh coilovers due to the ride quality compared to springs. when i had coilovers... i didnt have camber kit at the moment... and my front tires were seriously worn down... i had to have the tire shop flip the tires so it will wear out evenly through time. i hope this input helps.

Ground Control are the best ones. You will eventually blow out your shocks and will have to buy new ones.
Go with the Konis it will keep your car from bouncing as much.
