i know that no one does it that is one of the main attractions for me, being different, second is that i want to lower my car at least an inch maybe up to 2 but do not want to have a ruff ride. are there cheaper alternatives to lowering and keeping comfort and what is recommended for camber?

If you already knew nobody does it, why did you ask?
Why would you want all that added weight on an already heavy car? The compressorwould take up most of your trunk space too. Just get coil overs.

Coil overs will give you a fully adjustable, firm,and extremely controlled ride. The lower you go, the less comfortable it gets, but if you stay bellow 2" it should be what youre looking for. You dont need any other control arms/camber adjustments, etc.

Its not going to ride like stock. You need shocks of course. Something like this: http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shar...IL=HRCoilovers
