Gotcha. You just need to make sure those struts are rated to ride with a 2" drop. If not then you're going to end up just like you would with stock struts. They'd be at near full compression all the time which will cause premature failure.

But as far as camber kits, get an alignment done first to fix any issues if you haven't already. Every car acts different so don't just assume you need to drop cash for a camber kit. Once you get the car in spec, go to a wheel shop and have them throw on the size tire you want. If they're halfway trained they should be able to determine if there will be any rubbing or anything once the wheel is on. And then go from there.

And as far as places to get them go, you're just going to have to search for the best deal. Skunk 2 and Ingalls seem to be a pretty common choice but I'm sure some others can recommend more brands for you.
