I got a 10% off ebay coupon and used it to get 4 KYB AGX's from ebay for $291.48 shipped!

Just check ebay for shocks, cheapest place I found for my ADJUSTABLE shocks. If not ebay, it would have cost me cheapest around $414 + shippingfrom a web vendor.

Dont go just springs, do springs and a good pair of struts, i thought it would be fine on my car with a 2.5 drop, man was i wrong. its rides okay just normal driving, but bumps are hell for my car and if i go to fast over a large bump, the passanger gets tossed out of the seat and hits the roof.

You wont need a cam kit. You should be fine without one with aound a 2 inch drop. Dropzone isnt really as bad as some people on here will lead you to believe. There is a product review for the 5th gens on here for thier springs/coils and shocks and all of the people who had them agreed they loved them. One guy even has had his on since 2000 when that was wrote and had no probs. If not thought, Tein Stechs and Tokico HPs.

Are u serious??? It doesnt matter if u drop .5 or 3' the camber changes...so yes u need a camber kit unless u want to go through some tires and have negitive camber....hell i align stock cars that need a camber kit to correct it sometimes...
