Finalization on lowering car.

Okay before anyone yells at me plz know that i been searching and reading through past posts about lowering your car for the past 2 hours and i just want to confirm everything!!!

Basically im going with the KYB AGX/Tein S tech combo (daily driver only) and i was reading that people suggest that you should get rear camber plates (or is it front?).

What is recommended on everything else i should buy before putting the struts/springs on?

Front camber plates, and rear upper control arms (RUCAS). That will prevent uneven tire wear...

you don't need RUCA for a stech drop. It's not that low to really necessitate in getting an adjustable arm. Stock arm should be enough or a modified stock arm.

like I said in another post, with that set up I really doubt you will need the RUCA's, however if you plan on changing suspension down the line and getting something like coilovers they are an excellent investment
