Install suspension....get alignment...get camber kit...get another alignment. That is, if you even need the camber kit.

Well I just lowered mine about 2 months ago. They didn't recommend a camber because I wasn't at 2" yet. If you go to 2" you will need a camber as per the installors who did my car. From what I see a camber isn't that cheap and with a 2" you will be scraping on a daily driver. I got my suspension for 700 bucks and to install and align was another 200. So that alone was 900!! If you got the money and want to spend it hey by all means. Just remember that you will be very pissed hitting those speed bumps in walmart and at getting out of gas stations lol.

This is the settings the dude recommended for me bc i have 18's on it.

Front = 1.875" (Your front will be lower than the back. I'm ALMOST at 2" but not quite at 2")
Rear=1.75"

Thats the good thing that they are adjustable. Right now i have two finger gap between but once i change out my tires to a bigger profile then i will have a 1 finger gap which is what im shooting for.

To be honest man i forgot. I have everything written down on a paper. I think in order to set the height they come with a wrench that was included with the coilovers. Its not a hard installation at all. I just didn't have the time or place to do it. You can set the level of heightness up or down with those wrenches which will be included. As far as dampning force the ride isn't very stiff at all and neither is it bouncy. I would say its set in the middle. I dont know if theres a number for that. Definitely if your a diy'er this will be an easy install. I actually got a good deal on the price for install and alignment so i said to hell with it.
