Default Picked up springs off cl

I bought a new set of Skunk2 lowering springs off Craigs this weekend, paid $120 for them. Saves me like $40. The guy that had them literaly opened the box and that was it, never used them. They drop 2.5" in front, 2.25" in rear. Anyone have recommendations on struts...? I don't want to dish out like $400+ for KYB's, and Tokico blues dont really handle that big of a drop well. I also need to get camber kits for front and back. I'm going to wait to put the springs on 'til after winter. Here's a pic of them, I can't wait to put them on. Another thing is I'm putting on my Evo2 tomorrow

A little off topic question I have, for the project threads... do they have to be like hardcore builds or anything or can I make one updating everything I do with my car. It may not be the most exciting thread out there but if some people can get some ideas from when I do my tuck and what not it'd be worth it and just for my own sake of seeing progress. I don't throw a ton of money into my car at once, I spend in chunks so it's not like I'll have it built in a month. Swapping in summer too. So if that is okay to make a project thread that'd be an ongoing thing please say so, I don't want to make something that would be pointless and boring. Thanks.

Also, I'm looking at camber kits, which brand is the best way to go? Right now I'm looking in to BlackWorks and Blox, Skunk2's seem overpriced to me.

Hmm okay I was looking at the Skunk2, not too expensive and Skunk2 makes good products it is just that it seems not too many people have the struts/shocks. I'll probably start up a project thread in the mext few days then

Yea dude start a project thread. Make sure to include all the previous work you have done when you make it. I love looking back on my car from my accident to now. Lots of fun.
