Teins alone would be fine. A camber kit is good if you want to lessen premature tire wear. Otherwise, it's pretty much a good start where you don't have to worry about anything except maybe improving on your setup which is completely optional.

s'all good.

If you are going with the Tein S tech springs you will not need a camber kit. The S tech kit only lowers your car like 1.5 inches. You do not need a camber kit unless you lower your car past 2 inches. Go with the Tein S tech and be happy. If you want a lower height you may also want to look into shocks as well. Good luck bro

i'd recommend getting hsocks and srpings at the same time. you'll have a better ride and it'll be cheaper, unless you're doing the labor by yourslef

i believe koni yellows are the only shocks out for the type s. the rear are shocks, the front are inserts. basically you have to tear apart your stock strut, and install the koni insert. pain in the ***.
