i think a one inch drop would be fine without any camber issues or atleast within oem spec. I have 20's with alittle over half an inch and my camber is perfect in the front and a fraction off in the back. Just get some good springs. I heard that tein s and high tech for the g's are horrible when it comes to spring rates.
Do a search and you should find more info and pics on the forums. I know that lot of people dropping an inch has 19's. Good luck.
post some pictures when you get it done.

I have tein s techs on my car right now, the springs are great and drop perfectly and eliminate the gap in the front. the rear however is a bit higher but if you were to get an aggressive rear offset the tein s techs should work fine. front drops around 1-1.1" and rear is a bit less at .7-.9".

probably around 0.8" of drop and you can still get back to OEM spec without aftermarket correction kit. My rear dropped about 1" and it's slightly off OEM spec.

I was wondering this about the rears in 285 also. I would prolly do a fender roll to be on the safe side.

With a 1" drop your camber will be a bit off, probably just out of the factory max. If you take care of your tires and have them rotated often (including swaping them on the wheels every couple rotations) they will still last a long time and it will perform great.
