Camber kits, or adjustable camber top plates along with some rubber hose to wrap on the coils to keep them from squeaking.

thats all you need.

however, if its over i'd say, a 2" drop, you'll want a camber kit.
eventually you will want to buy aftermarket shocks as well, but its not needed.

Kyb agx adjustable struts. I found them online for 175.00 shipped for all 4 brand new with warranty.

1.5 to 1.8 inch drop springs. Stay away from dropzone. get neuspeed or teins they are good and decent price.

Anything under 2'ish inches and you most likely won't need any camber toe adjustments.

Just make sure to get an alignment afterwords.

Check ball joints and bushings since you are working on suspension. Don't want new parts to ride like **** because of other things.
