new struts would be highly recommended with those as they offer a pretty significant drop

and to answer your second question, yes

i was dropped on sportlines at one point, rear camber kit is a must, front also but you could get by.

btw, with the sportlines the drop is NOT 1.2". On my car the settled to at least 2" all around. My stock 17"s were tucked!

Not right away, but within a month you will. May as well do it now.

Depends on how much you drop.

I do believe most of car set as negative camber, but more negative camber = eatting your tires.

But yes, "some" negative cambers is good for traction.

correct me if i'm wrong.
