Kmart? Heh...I hope you are talking about outside of Kmart. ;)
I used H&R Sport springs and Koni Yellows for my suspension. They were supposed to be 1.8 in the front and 1.6 in the back. I swear it dropped it about 2.25-2.5. I did the $15 rear camber mod on the rear from the Vfaq. It ended up being more like $22 dollars. Inflation. They really should chang the name.
It worked well. I bought the Eibach front camber kit for the front. I had the alignment shop install it since the bushings will need to be pressed. I was pretty far out of spec on the front before the alignment, and now all four are kosher.
If you are going 2 inches I would tend to bet you will need front and rear kits. I would just use the Vfaq camber mod. The suspension technique kits are nice for the front, but pricey. I got the eibach kit for about 90 bucks from tire rack.
Just depends on how much you want to spend, but I think you will need the kits. You can always go without and replace your tires every 5,000 miles though.
Good luck. :thumb

You will need camber, there is no doubt about that, just ask MrBlunt.

i dropped the mirage 3-4inches for about a month, then raised it 2inches. never did anything for camber or alligned it. but i guess i was lucky that it stayed alligned and my tires still wared evenly.

All the info you should need is there. I think I picked up the bolts at Zettler, but Sears Hardware on Sunbury has a pretty good selection as well. Just make sure that you get the right grade bolts.
Good luck. :thumb

It's pretty simple. The Vfaq has the exact size of the bolts you need.
