Default Suspension Q's ?

ok so i have an 04 sxt neon with 54000 m. on it the whole suspension still stock, and i think its about i upgrade so i was thinkin of gettin some struts and springs to lower it only about 1.5 inch so what should i get? i know on struts i should probly get tokico but what about springs? where do i find any of these? what other parts do i need? and what stock parts i could still use?
uhh also i went to get my new tires and stuff yesterday they told me i need to get the alignment done and that i would need a camber kit i was gonna do it all next week but if i just change the suspension do i still need this? it says the cams/wedge thing is like $40 each for the front and $90 for the labor i'm also thinkin of gettin the rear brake asembly from an srt so what should i do first?

Yeah srt springs wont lower it that much . Just get the tokiko set its like under 400 bucks for both shipped and it should cost you under 150 bucks to have them installed . Mikey has them and so do a few others on here and the drop is awesome for springs .

Tokico HP Blues struts plus Eibach Prokit springs equals the sex.[8D]

Also, unless you go with a more "extreme" drop (2"+) you shouldnt need any camber correction bolts...
