looking for some recomendations on best street spring with most drop and shocks that ride best. i head KYB's are good as long as car is not lowered. also which springs are least destructive towrds the struts.since these cars already ahve negative camber do they require a camber kit after 2" drop?

What is your price range? I know your are looking for a street lowered set-up, but if you are going to go get low to the ground, just save up for a good coilover & dampener set-up. All struts become very inefficient after they are dropped unless they are shortened or revalved.

Extreme negative camber in the rear can be solved by purchasing Rear Upper Control Arms (RUCA) from SPL or Tein.

Hope that helps.

Depending on the drop you want, you could run Eibach Pro-Kit or H&R Sport springs with KYB GR-2 shocks. From what has been posted from KYB, the GR2 shocks are the equivalent to the AGX cranked up half way.

If you're going with something a little stiffer than the above two, I'd get the AGX. If you're going the something along the lines of the RSR-Race springs, I'd go with the Koni shocks.

Koni shocks with RSR Race springs if you want something comparable to coilover stiffness. If not AGXs with S-Tech will suffice.
