Offset? CV2s?

I have done a ton or reading around on here, and still have not come to a full conclusion as to what the following do.
Offset (explain)
Spacers (what are these, and what is their purpose)
shaving the bracket (what bracket, and how to shave)
camber (what is the camber, and why should I worry about this)
eibach pro (will this make my ride horrible, and will I need to buy a camber kit)

Camber is the angle of the wheel vertically in relation from the front of the car and it's measured in degrees, 0 degrees being perfectly straight. Too much negative camber will wear out the inside of your tires and too much positive camber will wear out the outside of the tires. Most modern suspension systems (like our car's double wishbone) will decrease the camber as the suspension compresses, this aids in handling. It is because of this characteristic why camber is affected when you drop the car. The lower you drop the car the Negative camber increases. Some extra negative camber is great for handling, but too much of it will wear the inside of your tires way too fast. Camber plates lets you adjust the camber so you can increase it to compensate for the drop. With a mild drop like Eibach, camber plates are usually not necessary. But if you go with H&R's or slam it with coilovers, then camber plates are pretty much a must.
I have yet to drive a G dropped on Eibachs but I have used them in other cars in the past. In my experience, it firms up the ride a bit but not that much different from stock. Eibachs is what I'm going with when I drop my car soon. I hope this helps.
