s14 s14 suspension help needed

I took my car in for an alignment a while ago for safety inspection reasons and they couldn't do it due to the cam bolts being seized and they didn't want to risk breaking them. I told them to hold off on the alignment till I had my coilovers installed. The coilovers are now ordered and should be here late next week. Now for the rookie questions as all my suspension knowledge comes from trucks and air ride. Are cam bolts needed with coilovers? I have seen aftermarket ones good for 1.5 degress, would these be useful? How low can I safely go without ruca's or any other helpers and not end up with delorean looking camber (back to the future reference for those who don't get it.) If I want to go lower and still be able to get a somewhat normal alignment done what all do I need as far as ruca's and similar stuff. This is a daily driver so I would like to have a bit of negative camber as I like to push my car when I drive but not so much that I will need new tires every month. I am still running the factory le 16's as I am focusing more on ride and performance before looks and I would like to get the fenders near the top of the tires and close up the gap(I guess that's kind of for looks), is this possible without any other suspension parts besides the coilovers and still get somewhat decent alignment specs. Sorry for the novel but like I said this is new territory for me and I like to be well informed and know about my own stuff. I did search as well but with so many questions I wasn't getting anywhere. Thanks to any and all that can help me out here.
