new shocks? most likely if you wanna have a better ride and if you dunt want your stock shocks to go out. camber? i say no. i've seen 2 inch drops on the TC and the rear wheels bend in a tiny bit. so you shoudnt worry so much bout a 1.5 inch drop. and the standard H&R's... i dunno but i heard there race springs are stiff. so that will cause you to bounce.

We always recommend replacing the O.E. dampers with "Adjustable Performance Level" dampers when installing lowering springs as most O.E. dampers will not be able to hold up to the extra demands placed on them by the lowering springs.

Only if the spring rates vary greatly.

I went with the H&R springs. The ride and drop is perfect. The ride feels pretty much like stock.

So what would be a good choice for springs for an xA RS with stock dampers?

We currently carry Koni and KYB dampers, unfortunately, neither one is producing a product for your application at this time. Sorry!

please forgive me, but I have no clue about suspension, but what are dampers?

A shock or strut. They help to smooth out the action of the spring, hence the term damper.
