Sup guys. Getting ready to finally install my Tein coilovers and have a couple of question.
1. I bought new tie rod ends, lockin nuts, and cotter pins. Anything else I should replace while I'm down there?
2. I also have a Progress sway bar/tie bar combo I wanna install while I have the suspension out, what else is needed for this?
3. I am by no means slamming the car but I do plan to lower quite a bit, will I require a camber kit? From what I researched I've decided to run -1F, -.5R and zero toe. Is this possible without aftermarket camber kits?

The front coilovers should have an adjustment for camber built into the top hats. As for the rear, you'll need an adjustable UCA to make adjustments. I'm pretty low with -1* front/-3.8* rear with 0* toe, so that shouldn't be a problem. As for the sway bar, I've still running 100% stock components but I've heard/read that the stock end links are prone to breaking.

Are you referencing tire/fender or rim/TA?

So you're saying I will need it for the rear correct? What camber setting would you recommend in the rear with a moderate drop?

Yes, you will need an adjustable UCA to correct rear camber. I just did what was necessary to make 225/50's on my 16x7+40 slips clear an unrolled qp at the time.

I'm not running that beefy of a tire nor do I plan on running a stupid amount of camber. I'll put an Ingalls rear camber kit next on my list to get.

Hey SickSi,

I didn't use the magnaflow catback... I ended up using the Vibrant Stealth Noir 2.75" and had it fitted to my 2.75" mid pipe. It had a nice deep sound loved it!

I will once I get it installed. Thinking of getting an OBX race header along with the new exhaust. Just got the new clutch installed and its smooth like butter.
