Any lowering spring will have an acceptable ride, much like stock.

Eibach or Tein will be very comfortable.

This car has an agressive bumpsteer curve. More importantly, it has an independent suspension. So you can lower it 0 inches before you affect camber.

Camber won't be the issue. Toe is the tire killer, not camber (unless you're doing burn outs).

You have to get an alignment after your spring install. Wait about 1000 miles for them to sag and settle. Even with a 1'' change in height, your alignment will be TOTALLY wack once you lower it.

Don't forget to clock your bushings.
