Re: cast and camber kit
the easiest way to do the front is camber bolts, but get good ones. grade 8. you can also do caster camber plates, but most of those options will require you to cut your strut tower apart and drill holes.
the only way to do the rear is a shim kit, like $15 a side and needs installed while on the alignment rack.
the rear doesn't actually get enough of either to cause performance problems. in fact lowered puts in into a very good range for autocross. maybe some wear if you travel on the highway a lot. but even i haven't had excessive wear on my tires and i am lower than most.

You aint' gonna be lowered on 18's, I can tell you that much. You won't clear in the front, and if by some miracle you clear in the back you will rub even over the smallest of bumps. I think most people on here running 18's had to pound their wheel wells in a bit to clear at stock height.

Re: cast and camber kit
you can probably buy the front camber bolts, and let the alignment shop take care of the rest.

Re: cast and camber kit
What are the specs on those 18s and tires? im lowered on eibachs with 18s didnt rub at all stock and only rubbed on really deep dips lowered. i did however get the rear fenders rolled because i plan on going lower in the future maybe not on the 18s tho.
Oh and btw no camber issues just keep your tires rotated regularly.

If 17's on a 4 inch drop don't rub then 18's on a 1.5 inch drop sure wont.
