You probably don't need the camber kits.

Are those shocks $279 for a set or each? I would get some Koni yellows if I were you. There is a deal on tirerack.com right now and they are $112 each. Also you don't need to get camber kits. Just get an alignment after you install everything and you will be good to go.

I don't like koni, everyone I see on here loves them, but if you do your own work you have to take the factory shock/strut spring mount off the factory shock/strut and put it on the koni, which is nice b/c its becomes adjustable, but kinda ugly, so I went with skunk 2 pro S full coilover, just looks cleaner, and it rides simillar to a strong set of spring/coilover sleeves and some adjustable struts/shocks set on the hightest setting, But I aldo plan on taking my car out for some HPDE, which I can wait for ....... but for the money the best set up for a dailydriver is a nice progressive spring/coilover, and some adjustable shocks/struts, always make sure rims and tires are mounted and balanced, and after everything is installed make sure you get a 4 wheel alignment.

FYI: skunk 2 is not progressive, they will make your car handle very well(alot of track racers use them or tien) but on the street they are stiff.

I run 205/50R15s with rota slipstreams, skunk2 pro S full coilovers, megan front, rear, and rear lower strut brace, and I love they way the car handles, its very stiff but great for curvy roads, which is what I wanted. for all the suspension parts I paid about $810(with tax and shipped) and wheels/tires I think i paid $475 for the rims and $110 for each tire., not cheap but great for what I need

Yeah, I 'rock' AGX's on my hatch and I have never liked them, not even when they were new. Plus, you will not find AGX's cheaper than the deal that tirerack has on Koni Yellows right now. Different strokes for different folks I guess, but IMO, Koni's are definitely better than AGX's.
