Default lowering my car

Well looking into lowering my camaro, im goin with true duals so im not lowering the car that much the kit i was looking at was the Eibach Pro-kit, but i started lookin on ebay and found some kits that i like more and for ALOT cheaper..... So i figured id ask yall for some opinions about gettin them, I know one kit i was lookin at said it needed a camber kit, (i dont know what thats all about) i want them to go straight on the car....................Any opinions would be appreaciated.........

Look up in th sticky on lowering..youll get and idea wht it will look like...
also I seem okto hear alot of people saying that when they used the pro kit they sag in a few years..

A lot of people seem to like DMS..I have no experience with DMS
also..depending on spring rates....you will need shocks..maybe not in the beginning..but lowering you car is very hard on the shocks....

I've got a hotchkiss 1.5" with adjustable shocks. Rides really well but you do feel every bump on crappy roads, and I have to go sideways over pretty much everything so I don't take the nose off. Keep in mind that your front nose sticks out really really far and lowering your car doesn't help one bit There are places I can't even take my car because of how low it is.

I've had the pro kit for a year, the stance is OK but could be better.
