So, I have a set of GC Coilovers on the way. When i get them installed, the car will sit a bit lower than stock. What i am not sure of is what else should i install with GC coilovers on Konis? Im not looking for track type adjust ability. I wouldn't know how much camber is too much or not enough.

I figure i am going to get Ingalls Adjustable Rear Control Arms, Ingalls Adjustable Front Strut Mounts, Generic Rear Strut Mount Kit, and a 26mm rear sway bar. Are there any bushings or anything that i am missing? My goal is to put it all together and and not take it apart for another upgrade or repair for a long time.

What do you all think?

I would go with the SHO SOurce Caster Camber Plates and articulating spring mounts as they are designed correctly for the coilovers and can handle Them. Many who have tried the stock mounts or Ingalls going this way in the end: SHO Source

You could do the strut rod bushings, sway bar bushings and endlinks.

When you say the SHO Source camber caster plate can handle the coilovers, what do you mean? Do the Ingalles lack the adjustability or are they prone to failure because they cant handle coilovers? Also, the SHO Source camber plates are just a set of fronts. What would you suggest for the rears?

One last thing. The sway bar endlinks. The price is a bit high on those things, has anyone installed them and thought they were worth every penny?

The mounts wont last as long as opposed to a stock system. Depending on how far you drop you may or may not get the adjustment you need.

For the rears the stock mounts are fine.

Ar a minimum you should plan to replace the stock endlinks with new ones due to age.

The adjustable ones are good for track use. So unles you plan to go to Willow Springs with the SHOCal group I wouldn't worry about it.
