If you lower you will need something eventually. You technically don't have to get anything extra but you will eat through tires quickly. To do the job right you will need something to at least adjust camber front and back. If you have an SRT, swapping to NA springs and konis would soften up your ride but you wouldn't be any lower. (Would also lose some handling)

could you guys recommended a setup where I would not need to do any additional work or need any additional parts.
I think I read on here if you just throw on Eibach springs with the stock shocks you shouldn't need any extra parts.

I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to lower my car without spending a fortune, so I'm in the same boat.

That's what I did. Since the car retains the original ride height, there is no need to adjust the camber. The Koni Sports are adjustable; so you can adjust the ride quality with a turn of a ****. I run mine with the fronts about one turn from full firm on the street and set them on full firm for autocrossing. The rears are set in the middle of the adjustment range. The handling is much improved over stock. Tires (mine are Michelin Pilot Super Sports) also really improve the handling. You won't be disappointed with Koni Sports, and installation is really easy.

While discussing these rear camber adjusters, nobody seems to mention that some kind of compliance is required in the suspension joints, and large ball joints with the kind of surface area provided by the K-Mac bushes will give durability allied with that compliance as they are encased in urethane.

This in addition to adjustability.
