Just bought Coilovers now what else to buy for suspension?

Hey im new to this forum and have been going through alot of threads and noticed that buying a front and rear camber kit is essential to have when lowering your car. I also noticed alot of people talking about sway bars. What exactly would that do and is it worth to buy sway bars along with the camber kits and the coilovers? thanks in advance

Sway bars stiffen up the frame to help reduce body roll. Yes a good set of sways is worth the money. Look into hotchiks for a good set of sways.

What kind of handling performance are you looking for?

If you have coilovers and camber kits and your car is dropped low, you might want to look into adjustable endlinks. With those 3 parts, you'll be able to both align your car and corner balance it.

Also, definitely look into a set of sway bars; they're a very noticeable handling improvement modification to the G.

oh ok well its not really the handling performance that im worried about its more the wear on the tires or other parts. Will those adjustable endlinks help in evening the wear on the tires or are the camber kits all you need? I am just interested in that for now and down the road i will buy a set of sways.

As far as tire wear goes, all you'll need are front and rear camber kits. Which ones are up to you, depending on your budget.

As far as endlinks go for wear on other parts, it depends on how low you are dropped and how stiff your sway bars are set (if they are stiff enough and your G is low enough, your stock endlinks can break). Since you don't have aftermarket sway bars, I wouldn't worry about adjustable endlinks.
