What am I forgetting here?

So it's getting to be the time where I start spending some money to improve my car's (it's a 2003 wagon) suspension. I already have the Eibach Pro-Kit wagon springs sitting in my apartment, and will be ordering KYB AGX's shortly.

My question is, will I need anything else in order to get the spring/shock combo installed? Will I need to get some kind of camber adjustment, new/different tophats, or anything else that I might be missing? I would rather ask the question now rather than get a rude surprise when I go to have everything installed.

thanks!


postscript: I already know that the sedan KYB's will cause camber issues up front, so I plan to get GC8 fronts and wrx rears.

alot of people elect to install camber bolts as well since you are in there already. It may help in the alignment department in the future if you want to go more aggressive. As a necessity, I'm not sure.

It's recommended to get a full alignment done after a strut/spring install . . . or anything suspension related really.
