He is thinking of 3rd gen camber plates. No, they don't work on a 4th gen. You should be able to adjust the car as it sits. You may need to run more negative camber (it will handle better that way), but it will align when lowered. My car, lowered nearly 2", aligned just fine at that height. I set it to -1.3 camber, 4.5 castor and 1/32" toe out. I'd shoot for -.7 camber, 4.5 caster and 0 toe for street use (I drive mine daily and get 30K out of front tires).

Have fun!

Yeah dude they should be able to fix it with the stock stuff. I would recommend driving a few miles then getting it aligned to let the springs settle.
