eventually yes, you will need to buy aftermarket shocks(koni is the only that are out on market right now).
if you are looking for comfortable ride. save up and buy full coilovers. well worth every penny

progress slams your ride and you will need a camber kit while neuspeed is a milder drop and I think you will need a camber kit as well. It is all up to you.

you will eventually need to replace oem shocks later.
also i would suggest you to buy camberkit if you lower your car more than 1.75....

camber kits are suggested, but not nessesary, lower ur car, wait til it settles, if the wheels tilt in, get a camber kit...

Even if you can't see negative camber in your rear wheels, it'll likely still be there. . . even after just a 1.5" drop. Ever car is a little different, and some need a kit with as little as a 1" drop!

I have the H&R Sport (1.3" claimed drop) and I needed camber kits FRONT AND BACK.

Even if you don't think you'll need the kits, at least budget for them. After your car settles from the spring install, get it fully-aligned. The tech will tell you if you need camber kits. If so, get them ASAP and install them, then go back for another alignment. Most finer shops will give you a FREE realignment in the first 30 days after your initial one. USE THAT. That offer will save you $50-70 from another alignment.

I can't stress this all enough. Anything more than about 1 degree off will start to unevenly wear your tires, especially if they're on 17-19 inch rims. Then they'll wear the inside edges of the tread even faster.

Budget for the kits. If you DON'T need them, great!

^^^ exactly.. like i said.. its recomended, but not necessary.. i forgot to add in most cases

but if u wanna be safe on the tire wear, go for it.. as for me, i dont really notice any tire wear.. but then again.. i got the oem spec tires... meaning they are 185/65/15's so i dunno if that matters to u at all
