Nice job Nackers....he's almost no longer a noob.
Anytime you lower our cars, your camber WILL change. The more you drop, the more negative you will be.
The rear camber is always necessary for any drop on our cars. There's a $15 dollar camber mod for the back...do a search on that. Or you can spend some dollars on an Ingalls kit.
Prokits, you can get away with not getting a front, but it's still recommended to prolong the life of your tires.
With my Sportline drop, my fronts were -2 and the back was like -3 before any correction.
With an H&R OE Sport 1 inch drop, my front was -1.3 and i couldn't tell the back because I already had a back camber kit and it was within specs.
Get a frickin alignment after working on your suspension! If you don't straigten the toes out, you will run through your tires in a month or two.
Look at this link.. I think it's pretty accurate to how much your camber will change even though they aren't specifically talking about our cars:
as for used or new....get new if you have cash...buy used if your dirt poor. springs usually have a "lifetime" warranty but shocks do go out...so maybe used springs and new shocks imo.
