i believe this must be your first car and you must be young too. there is no BEST modification or brand because everyone's need and perception of things are different. For example, some people loves their JIC magic coilover but some would think it is too stiff and does not worth $1200. some love their stock suspension because it just feel right...... use the search function to research and make your own judgment.

i believe if you have conservative lowering (less than 1.5") , which applied to most of Japanese cars, camber kit is not required.
I have eibach prokit with my previous solara and current Is300, i do not have any negative camber wear on my tire.

ok well i plan on dropping it but idk how low. Probably want it like 2.5 in front and 2 in back but i still would like it rideable. This tuesday is when i am going to be putting my coilovers, camber kit, and rims all on and that is when i will be messing with the hight.

What coilover you pic should depend on what you plan to do with the car as well as your driving style. I just picked up the Tein CS Coilovers as I am told this will be the most comfortable and still have the ability to track if I so decide.
Figure out what you want to spend and read up on each. my.is/ has some great write ups and comparisons to about every coilover I considered.
