They would handle a lot better than stock but not as nice as coilovers.

Which ones you looking at? DF210 or NF210?

IMO the NF's wouldn't lower it enough for a camber kit. DF's, not sure

I used to have Tein S-Tech lows and I switched to the Tanabe NF's. I really like the way the Tanabes sit, not as low as the Teins, but they are a bit stiffer. Whether or not you "need" a camber kit depends on your needs and what size tire/wheel combo you'll be using. If you want better handling, give it a mild drop then look into suspension components (bracing, shocks/struts, etc.). There are a surprising amount of mods out there for our cars :) Good luck!

and you can always do what I did...buy the adjustable camber bolts anyway, for ~$35, you can't really go wrong with added adjustability.

I've got df210's and I'm pretty happy with them. I've put over 45k miles on my car since installing them.
The only time they cause a problem is when I go over huge speed bumps too fast.
