shocks
How much are you looking to lower it? If you dont go too crazy (over 1.5") you may not need a camber kit. I personally would sell those coilovers, especially if they are of the E-bay special variety.
You have quite a few options as far as shock/spring combos. If you are just looking for something to eliminate wheel gap, but arent overly worried about on-track stiffness and performance, you could go with something like the Tokico suspension kit, available at www.shox.com . it runs $379 and includes non adjustable shocks and 1.5" lowering springs.
If you want something that will give you improved performance at the track, id recommend Tokico Illumina adjustable shocks $439 for all 4 corners, and some Eibach Pro-kit springs (1.2" drop around $210)

im just looking to drop it about 1.7 in front and 2ish in the back im nto looking for any stiffness but i dont wanna shitty ass ride
could i buy like used shocks or somthing i dunno i dont have like 3-5hundred bucks to blow on stiffness.
Will the stock shocks work or will it be too bumpy?

You will have a bouncy ride just by the nature of the springs included with most coilovers. The stock shocks arent stiff enough to allow constant dampening during the up and down movements of a lowered car. You will blow them out in no time and end up basically riding on the springs. Trust me, ive been there. Unless you absoutely have your heart set on doing your suspension, sell your coilovers, and save up your money for that first kit i mentioned or something similar. You will thank yourself later. As im sure youve heard, or will hear soon enough. There is a saying that floats around the DSM camp. "Mod cheap, Mod Twice"
