I just got black 18" DRag DR-9 wheels wrapped in Toyo Proxes on my white 2000 civic and cant wait to fill in the tire wells, to do so i'm thinking bout droping it 2.5-3"s but i dont know to much about suspension. I am familiar with some brands and plan to use coilovers to achieve the drastic drop. My local shop who did the wheels recommends Skunk2 coilovers with i think "KY" shocks.

Are shocks really necessary?

Do i need a camber kit with shocks?

Would these brands be a good combination?Or any other good brands?

I know the coilovers will run for approx. 290 but how much are the shocks (KY) suppose to cost and camber kits (skunk2)...i dont want to get ripped off!

Thanks for all the help!

One more thing...when i got home from the shop with the new tires i noticed that the rear tires where leaning in---butterflying---- whats up with that i called the shop they said it might be a cambering problem ...any ideas?
