Default springs, camber & struts

I'm about to put some 17" by 7" rims on my 95 hatch si. I was thinking of lowering it a bit too, to make it look nice. If i put some good springs on it do I have to replace my stock struts? Should I put an after-market camber kit on also? What all do I need, I don't want to buy anything if i don't have to.

imo, only if your struts are bad will they need to be replaced. camber kit is also needed or your tires will have inner edge tire wear in no time...

If you get springs, it's always a good idea to invest in some dampers that can handle the extra strain of a lowering job. It'll improve your handling and your ride, and extend the life of both your springs and your struts. Camber kits are a must if you're dropping your car close to 2". You can get away with 1.5" or so no problem though.
