it'll reduce the life of your stock shocks, but a lot of people uses stock shocks anyway without much problems, and a lot of peoples go with koni shocks as well (additional .5 inch drop on 2nd perch of the shock)

i just installed tein s tech on stock shocks yesterday, and will probably get koni shocks in a year or so.

you dont need camber kit because like mention above our car's camber is adjustable, you can wait until the springs settle and do a full allignment

Have them on stock shocks. I am happy with them so far. The drop is just right. Get an alignment asap. My front tires are seriously worn out now because I took my time.

Haven't gone to the track with them yet so can't comment on improvement but should be ok with -1" all around and +100lbs spring rate all around.

^ I agree. I am running the stock shocks with S-Techs and I have no issues what so ever, but I am sure the life of the shock would be shortened.

Alignment is key.
