98 corolla springs swap?

i was just wondering if i were to change my springs to on my corolla (eibach pro-kit 1.3" drop) would the stock shocks and struts work fine? would i need to buy a camber kit also? any advise is is appreciated?
one more thing, how hard is it to do yourself, to change the springs i mean?

Better get sturt with spring. Stock sturt may blow soon. Took me about 2 hours each spring on my Celica. I have rear swap bar which tie to the rear sturt and its a pain to remove because of rust. Remove the wheels and take a look at what you need to remove before you start.

what 'bout a camber kit....do you think with a 1.3" drop that there will be a noticeable butterfly problem?

Nop, usually you don't need alignment unless its more then 2" drop. You can do it anyway but not needed.

The eibach kit drop creates a little alignment problems. The camber was a little bad in the back but not too bad in the front. I have Trd sruts and springs. The springs are trd by eibach. My rear tires wore out really fast. Now Im thinking about buying eibach camber kit. Also I would not put aftermarket springs with stock struts. Its just not good. With my trd aftermarket struts, my 98 corolla handles like my stock 92 mr2 turbo suspension. Its awesome.

ive had my ride lowered for close to two years now changed suspension twice from h&r to apex and my shocks and struts are fine.

no need for shocks or camber kit for that kind of drop
