Default I need full suspenion upgrading advice?

I am upgradeing the suspension on my 98 integra GSR. By installing Tein super street coil-overs, tein pillow upper mounts, a Integra type R rear sway bar, and a sprint suspenion camber alignment kit. Then pull it on the rack and do the alignment. Any advice or problems I can avoid. Besides buying different brand. My car comes stock with a tower bar so going to leave that alone for now.:driving:

Well you really do not need the upper pillow mounts and unless your going to be adjusting your camber a lot a camber kit is not really needed either.

Ya, Every one says either that I need a camber alignment kit, or that if I just lower a inch I would be fine w/ out camber kit. But rather be safe than buying tires once a week.

I've run with so much negative camber for years and no problems. My tires last a full season and a half. But I also have 0 toe front and back. Toe wears tires quicker than camber.

if you are pulling all that apart you might as well do some poly bushings while you are in there.
