lowering on stock shocks

[sfields]

Now I know its a no no to not upgrade the shocks, and I plan on it, but hey college kids are poor. So I want to do the springs, and then save for the shocks. I'm thinking about maybe a 1.5" drop, is that too far for the stock shocks? Also at which point would I need a camber kit?
I'm sure this is asked somewhere before but I couldn't find it.
Thanks

if there was only one thing that i have learned this week, it would be:
Do it once. Do it right.

Why go thru the hassle of taking your suspension apart twice as much as you have to?? or if your not DIY, why pay twice as much for the same EXACT job??

Coming from another broke-ass college student who learned the hard way, take my advice :wink:

x2. save for the shocks, then do it together. trust us on this one.

you don't need a camber kit. get a good 4 wheel alignment, and make double sure your toe is right. it's the toe that messes up the tires, and most shops will incorrectly point to camber first.

Will do, and is toe the same thing as caster?

no. here's a pretty good explanation of what they all are: http://www.michelinman.com/tire-care/tire-saving-tips/alignment-tips
