2 inches should be ok and should make for a slight tuck if I remember right. A friend of mine has 18s on his 5th gen with about a 2" drop and he had no problem with rub.

The "bat method" of rolling fenders is real easy.

Get a wooden bat (aluminum is too stiff and creases)
depending on the gap you may have to jack the car up to get the bat between the wheel and the fender.
Once that is done just position the bat so that it pushes the sharp lip flat and roll it through the wheel well so that the sharp lip is gone.

I will try to find a link to the site that shows how exactly to do this in more detail.

If you leave the lip it tends to cut into the wheel when the car bounces or in sharp corners.

As for the struts there are a lot of options KYB adjustables are a good one and provide a nice ride as well as excellent durability. I will leave the strut recommendations to others since I am a little behind in my research on them.

For the camber kit I use a Progress kit with polyurethane bushings. Its a good kit and does its job well but you will notice some squeek for a little while until it breaks in. There are other kits out there so ask around for peoples recommendations and likes and dislikes about each kit.
