About camber - if you have a level place to set up on, you can measure camber accurately enough with either a digital angle finder ($40 at Harbor Freight IIRC) or with a level and a small scale (plus a little trigonometry).
Up to an inch or so of "drop", handling probably won't change enough for you to notice, though as you go past 1.5" or so there will be some sacrifices. What it comes down to is how important appearance is to you as opposed to performance as you approach the limits of tire grip, either in cornering or straightline acceleration.

I'm starting to understand what you mean. You're saying that right now my tires are at around zero camber so they look like this
||---||
But since i'm lowering the car, it will push the tires out (negative camber) and look like this
//----\\ (obviously exaggerated)
Which is bad. So I need CC plates to keep it near zero camber.
So I need to measure how much out (negative) they are already so that I will know if I need the extra correction offered by the CC plates?
Assuming that I'm right, I'm gonna go out in my garage now and measure the camber like you told me to.
