tein and eibach have a 1" drop and handle like stock. espilars are around a 2" drop. i think skunk 2 are somewhere in the middle around 1.5". swift springs are .8". i would pick up a newer set of oem ap2 shocks with low miles on them and swap out your 9 yr old stock shocks.

-2 camber won't eat your tires really. Toe wears them more than camber anyways.

got skunk2 springs and i like them, good drop but scrape a lot. they say the drop is around 2"F and 1.8" R. stock springs are def harder though. going for koni's later.

I have the Eibach springs with the koni yellow shocks on the lower perch. Perfect combo imo.
