Default Skunk2 Upper Front and rear strut bars help

So go figure just randomly on craigslist at work, and i come across 2 brand new upper front and rear skunk2 strut bars for 140$, i get there brand new still in box guys just selling them because its not going to fit on is K20 hatch project he's got going on well anyways i def. take him up on the sick deal i have infront of me

now the question is, what all am i going to need to make sure these are on with no problem? I understand the principle of putting them on and how easy it is, but i have some people at work sayin i'm going to need to torque them and what not? isn't it just a simple few bolts and i'm good to go? would love to here some detailed input on this thanks

take off four bolts that hold the top of your struts on and put on, then tighten bolts back on.

you dont have to get lower control arms at the same time as the lower tiebar. getting them at the same time just saves you a little trouble so you dont have to do the install twice pretty much. but it doesnt matter if you get them one at a time or together.

for sure, and i was told i don't need a camber kit, i'm going with skunk2 coilovers (exspensive but worth it) and i'm just trying to make sure that nothing is overlooked, the coilovers will prob be last. But what should i be looking out for when upgrading my suspension and what not?

For a camber kit, It depends on how low you drop it, ssually coilovers have different ride heights to you could adjust but your tires will wear on the outside if you dont get a camber kit.
