Lowered mine 1.5" with some Saleen springs and its been absolutely fine for me. Never needed to do anything else to it. It really makes the car look great to. Go for it.

You don't need Caster Camber plates if you lowered your car however I hear it improves ride quality a bit.

H&R give the performance look with the back a little higher than the front, and they improve handling and have 2 lines of them, one with a decent lower and one with a pretty extreme lower. Ive heard alot of good things about them. Caster camber plates are ALWAYS a good idea when doing new springs, not necessary though
