Lowering Car
If you go more than an 1" you might have some rubbing issues depending on what wheels you are running. $220 is a good price. You do not need a camber kit. The car is fully adjustable as is. 2" is a big drop hope you don't have a front lip.
no my s2k is completely stock.. My plan was to get a 1,5 to 2 inch drop, keep stock rims, and instead of having 225 50 16 in back, wanted to get 245 45 16.. and in the front 225 50 16. With the lower profile I need to drop it a couple of inches.
My Eibachs dropped more than an inch. I only have a 1 finger gap between the fender and tire in the front and rear. Have not changed to Koni struts yet, but plan to.
I also had the alignment set to the Euro specs, with alot of neg camber on the rears. The cornering is definitely better, in trade for some additional inside tire wear. I like it.
A 2" drop will be alot, especially after it settles. Wait about a week after the spring install before you get an alignment. The car needs to settle first.
Good luck on the driveways!

well, when the tech was adjusting my camber, he brought me out to the car....the stock camber is supposed to be -1.5* in the rear, and it was at about -3* when I brought it in. He would start adjusting, and as soon as he hit about -2 to -1.9*, it would jump back up to -2.9*, so he set the rears to about -2, and I cant remember the fronts.
Actually.....here are the specs:
Drivers Side/Passenger Side
Front:
Camber: -0.6/-0.6
Caster: 6.1/6.4 ***6.4 out of spec*** (5.8 to 6.3 stock)
Toe: -0.03/-0.04
Rear:
Camber: -1.9/-2.2 *** Both out of spec*** (-1.3 to -1.7 stock)
Toe: .13/.16
Total Front Toe: -0.07
Steer Ahead: 0.01
Total Rear Toe: 0.29
Thrust Angle: -0.03

I had my car lowered 2 inches, and I had no rubbing issues with the factory wheels. I recently got new wheels, and had to raise up .5 inch to 1.5 in. of drop so it would not rub. My alignment shop could not get any lower than -2 camber in the rear either.
