Sportlines are a 1.9 drop....and forget the camber bolts bro. If you really have to have some adjustment, read Kojimas articles on suspension, and the "slotting" of the strut for a little camber adjustment

the sportlines for the b14 sentra/200sx lower it 1.9" all around and what i've been told, although not tested, is that up to 2" yer fine and won't need a camber kit, but i'm sure that also depends upon the specific car. by the way, I put sportlines w/ agx's on the rear of my b14 n it bottomed out jus pulling out of a driveway...I then realized that the shocks were on the softest setting of #1!!! :-x but the shocks r fine but now i hear a thunk noise when i go on dips and the rears get compressed a lot like something is loose and I even tried different shocks and it still makes the noise. does anyone know of something back there that could get knocked loose from a hard hit?
My car is lowered with Eibach Sportlines (1.9") in the front and Eibach Pro Kits (1.4) in the rear. I needed no camber plates and you won't either if you go with the Sportlines or Prokits. Just take it to the alignment shop after its lowered or you will kill the front tires really fast.
is it good to mix and match?? how does the car handle with that setup??
I have heard its not good to mix and match springs. I did some research and talked to a couple of people that have the same drop and they had good things to say about it. I like the drop alot. The cars drop looks even which is what I wanted. I am still running on the stock struts and I don't really think its that bad it hops a little over rough surfaces. I have the AGXs but want the stocks to go out before I change. Its no autocross car but I have thrown it through some crazy turns and handled it pretty good. Should be alot better with the AGX's. I had a 98 Sentra xe with ground controls and agxs and I can honestly say I like the springs more. I might take some abuse for saying that but its my opinion.
Chicago, i'm assuming you have the koni bump stops, too?
