But anyways will it ride smooth i mean will i need anything else to make it ride good cause i dont want a shi**y rough ride either and i know the lower you go the worst it is but let me know what i should all do thhanks

80 bucks for coilovers and a camber kit?
i would guess that it's crap. an okay coilover setup should be at least $300.
i'd expect the camber kit to cost more than 80 bucks by itself.
coilovers ride rough. if you don't need to adjust your height after lowering, i'd recommend springs because they are less expensive for nice springs than nice coilovers, and they ride a lot smoother.
see my sig? that's how low it is with H&R Sport Springs. Is that the kind of drop you're looking for? H&Rs are pretty nice, and are only like $180 shipped.

so your saying just get some good set of springs cause all i wanna go is like 1.5 inches how many inches is your car lowered and do i need a camber kit and anything else or what do i all need for springs cause i want it to ride nice and not be rough on my suspension and tires and so your saying springs ride better than coilovers?

yea coilovers are a rough ride compared to springs.
i'm lowered 1.8" in the front, and 1.6" in the rear.
if you lower your car though, you're gonna want to replace the shocks/struts with some nice ones. stock shocks are not made to handle being lowered and will blow out from it.
you don't need a camber kit for such a mild drop, but you will need to get an alignment.
