You can go as low as you want without a camber kit. You'll be slightly out of spec on the negative side. Set the toe correctly and you'll corner like mad with a slight bit more neg. camber. The inside of your tires may suffer slightly.
2 inches is usually the rule of thumb with our cars. Any lower and your camber goes a bit more neg. then what the spec. calls for. I wouldn't drop the car lower then 2 inches anyhow. Your into drive line issues and much added stress to things like CV joints, ball joints, bushings and not to mention no shock travel left, especially in the rear.

Re: Camber kits
i've had maxspring on my car for a while, dropped about 1.4 inches up front. got an alignment and my camber was at negative .9. although that's normal, i'd like mine to be around 1.5 or so. so i think a 2 inch drop would be fine and make the camber perfect. especially if u like to take corners a little harder than the "average" driver.

When you lower it doesn't it get it closer to a straight line out of the tranny? How would that add stress?
