It's all good man, a lot of people run SPL's, but SPC's would be fine if you're not running hard at a track. Cucso's are great but kinda pricey.

Some vendors may offer some sort of combo deal where the rear camber arms are discounted when purchased with the coilovers, but I don't know of any coilovers that automatically come with those components. Note, most rear camber arm kits also come with new toe bolts and a template to elongate the toe bolt hole, which will allow you to get your toe back into spec when the car is lowered. I would expect a decent camber arm + toe bolt kit like Eibach / SPC to run around $150.
thank you very much... i have a good idea of how things work now. your very helpful

if you do want to slam or "an aggressive look" then true style is the best, i would go with fortune auto 500 series ive had experience with bc and stance, and they are absolutley great but fortunes are the best of both worlds looks and performance. and for the toe arms hit up jason zya and get some from him ive heard and had nothing but good words to say about his toe arms.

you can't get that answer because there is no such answer

there are tons of threads, vendor sites, etc that have all these products explained in detail, with pricing, pictures, etc. It's going to take some research on your part to sift through them and extract the info you need

Unfortunately you're not going to get coilovers, and front and rear camber kits for your proposed budget unless you buy everything used - hit up the private classifieds and see what people have up for grabs.

Beyond about a 1.5 inch drop, you will need front adjustable a arms. For ones worth buying, that will properly correct your negative camber issues, you're looking in the ~$500 range. Rear camber/toe kits are in the $160's for the set, and then coilovers, sky is the limit as far as budget/range

there are tons and tons of threads about them from members who have them, those of us who have used them, and probably opinions from people who have never used them. Most are going to be typical internet high fives "I have em, I love em" followed by "me too". Those don't help you. But if you take a little time (maybe an hour), you can find some more meaningful posts

at $1100, just understand what you are, and are not buying.
