Just bought some H&R race springs and Koni shocks, I know that lowering the car will throw the camber out, that I'll likely if not certainly need an aftermarket part to correct it. My question is will I need to get any additional parts to keep toe or caster reasonable? And it seems as though there are several aftermarket products for fixing the camber, and I don't know which one would be ideal, in terms of ease of adjustment, giving enough adjustment range, being sturdy enough for hard use and not negatively affecting suspension geometry or some such. Looking for suggestions on what parts to use.
Also I am redoing my whole suspension/steering system all at once fwiw. I'm also planning to get RM or tannabe swaybars, DC sport or RRE STBs. Already have a full prothane bushing kit, not installed yet. I might also get RTM shock mounts, and possibly subframe bushings later on. Any input on that parts/build list would also be appreciated.
As for build intent/the car's use, its a weekend fun car, that I'm planning to autox or hill climb or something along those lines down the road, I'm not really concerned about ride quality, although it won't be a pure track car either.
 
Did you already buy the Konis? If so I recommend getting the ground control conversion kit, then you can run whatever rates you want. http://www.ground-control-store.com/products/description.php/II=52/CA=92
That's just my extremely biased opinion though because I run gcs.

To adjust your rear camber I recommend this kit http://www.extremepsi.com/store/product.php?productid=18785&cat=1692&page=1
You might be able to get away with just using the washer trick in the rear though depending on how low you go.

Front camber I haven't touched.
My caster and toe are within factory spec without any aftermarket alignment products.

Just some advice on strut bars which I'm sure everyone will disagree with me, especially those who bought expensive ones. There's little difference between an eBay strut bar and a $120 DC strut bar. Strut bars are in tension and not compression. Save your money and spend it elsewhere.
