Default XA Newbie Suspension Alignment Questions

Hey Guys. I'd like to lower my XA soon. I've been searching and reading about different spring brands. I've used Eibach and Tein S-Tech in the past. Tein is always too soft, I really like Eibach.

I'm planning on lowering 2" F&R with Eibach Sportline Springs. Can anyone with these springs chime in on the Ride quality/feel of these springs? I'm hoping for something not too stiff and not too soft.

Also, when lowering, do I need any camber kits? I've read about camber plates and shims but poster also talks about coilovers so I'm not sure if they're needed for springs too.

What struts are good for lowering the XA? Can the stock struts handle the 2" lowering?

Any info is appreciated. Thanks

You may need it. I have the ebiach pro-kit and they always have a hard time doing a front wheel alignment.

Thanks for the reply. Are you using the stock springs? Also, how's the ride feel with the Pro Kit?

Ride is good for a short wheel based car. The suspension mods are eibach pro kit with a hotchkis rear anti sway bar, Monroe shocks front and rear.
