Help....want to lower my Si

I want to lower my Si about 1-1.5 inches. I have 225/40/18s on it so I want to make sure I have now issues with rubbing. I want the front to be level with or lower than the rear. I have seen some cars where the rear end looks lower than the front. If I go with spring will I need a camber kit for a mild drop no more than 1.5 inches? Can anyone give me some good advice?

You come in here and ask a question that has been asked many times and you tell me to search!!!!!!!!

Why don't you acutally try to get your car to handle better rather then just lower it with some 18's...AWWESOME MAN!!!
