Whiteline Com-C top hats in the front and Group-N top hats in the rear is a really good combo. I was going to run that before I got coilovers.

I don't think Cusco camber plates will mount up to the stock struts.

For the front you'll need the conical washer that goes under the top hat. I have 2 extra ones if you need them. There's also the rubber piece that going on top of the spring but I don't know if you exactly need it.

Oh and bump stops for the rear.

Why don't you just get yours rebuilt? I think it's like $400 and they just send you the replacement part and you just swap it on.

Problem with that is it puts your car out of commission while they do the rebuild....

They don't do a rebuild. They basically send you a whole new replacement part and you just swap it in and throw away the old pieces.
