Need some advice.

aight I was talking to my friend the other day and he works for a performance shop around here. He can get pretty much anything skunk2 related damn near free. Right now my car is riding on shitty ass Apc "coilovers" and the ride is horrible, it just wont stop bouncing. Hes getting the Skunk2's for me for about $150 brand new. How long can I use these with my stock shocks before they blow out? Also I have a total of $400 to spend. Ive already ordered a Skunk 2 exhaust,headers(Not skunk2 I think Aem) and the skunk2 coilover kit plus he through in a Aem plug and play system for $300. So I have $100 left, I need this car to drive safely for itleast a month till I can save up and get new struts. I dont really care about the ride being harsh I just dont want it to be boucning everywhere and my exhaust only having 1 damn inch of clearance. Should I buy a camber kit? or do I not need it? or what?

Re: Need some advice.

Even with the Skunk2's you're going to have a bouncy ride. 1. the APC's wore out the struts 2. stock struts are not designed to handle sleeves. Struts are what stop the "bounce" Instead of the Plug/play I would upgrade the struts to the best suited for coilover sleeves. That would be Koni sports.
Yes you should buy camber kits, especially if you plan on 1.75" or more drop.
