you need camber kits

If you are only looking for looks, get a set of your choice of springs (maybe struts, I think there is one or two ok companys making them) and a camber kit and call it a day.

If you are looking for performance out of the suspension set-up, look at the stickied threads.

Good luck...

If I got a dollar everytime someone asked if they needed an alignment/camber kit with their drop I'd have enough for a nice set of volks.

I have the SS coilovers, I have the EDFC and I mess with my settings all the time. I recommend just buying springs or building your own set up like as in EIbach springs, and whoever shocks.

I ride on Tein SS coilovers. It might be my exhaust's (oem si axleback) alignment, but my exhaust rubs on the rear spring. They do use a larger diameter spring.

They ARE Adjustable for Damping ...only the Basic's are fixed damping

You do not nessessary need camber kits ... depends on the drop ... Negative camber is good.

HOWEVER you WILL need do an aligment (Toe) after you install ANY suspension set
