yes and no, you may or may not blow your stock shocks on your car - depending on how low you go, also same with camber kit.. i would sugguest getting camber kit for the rear at least .. if you drop more then 1.5 i would highly recommend getting aftermarket shocks as well ..

camber kit is required if you value your tires. You cannot properly align a car without one if you're lowered. There are always exceptions, but thats a general rule. Shocks is up to you or wiat until the stock ones blow out. Keep in mind the stock shocks were designed for the stock ride height.

you should check the manufacturers websites of the springs youre getting, majority of them has a chart that tells you whats needed etc etc, but imo and like what everyone said above, anything over 1.25 will need a camber kit + new shocks, reason i say 1.25 most springs eventually sag/break in over time and itll end up with 1.40-1.5 later in life, tires will eventually bald unevenly, and a nice hit on a pothole with oem shocks will blow those suckers out in under a year....

performance springs have different spring rates (stiffer than oem) picture a 500lb guy jumping in a pool meant for kids so yea...

I just love people who buy parts that have no idea what they are doing...learn before you buy, NOT AFTER! You can make your car very dangerous to drive if you mess with your suspension the wrong way.
