Question suspensions options.

Hey guys. The first thing ive got to say is that im very unfamiliar with suspensions, but I did do a search on "suspension setups" in the forum. I learned alot about the basic theories and parts, but I still have some questions about different brands/products and peoples experiences with each.

Question1: When I lower my car, it will change the cars camber right? what about the toe?

Question2:How do i fix these problems? Can I just get it aligned?

Question3:
Next, what brand of springs works the best?
the ones from...
option1
or
option2


What about shocks/struts?
option1
or
option2

ps- thanks in advance for all the input.

I'm running the tanabe's with some kyb Climb gears and im completely happy with it. Ive also got a set of Eibach pro's sitting in my closet for a rainy day if my tanabe's **** me off. You'll find its basically on how much you want to spend, you will pay more for adjustable struts and shocks than you will for non adjustable, and as per springs i would say go with the eibach kit, they are fairly common and are a deccent price (Y)

my budget is about $800-900. that should be able to get me a decent suspension setup right? are the tanabes to hard to be daily driven?
Also, what are the advantages of adjustable shocks? The only reason I would buy them is so I could have the car corner balanced. I dont care too much about ride comfort, so i wont need to change settings from track to street.
