Suspension Questions, Pardon the dust Options

[Hazmat]

Excuse my noobness in the suspension area of our cars because frankly, I have no clue on where to start and what all I would need to accomplish what I want accomplished. I have been putting the research into it greatly recently and I'm confident I've got what I want lined up but please correct me if I'm missing something. Anyway, here's what all I've put together so forth.

KYB GR2 Kit

Tein S-Tech

Now this setup is what I would be replacing my current stock stuff with and I'm not sure if I am missing something? The GR2 Kit includes everything I need(I think) and the Techs have me covered spring wise as far as I know. Now what I'm mainly concerned with is completely missing something(as I mentioned above). Is there anything else to redoing a stock setup? Is there any negative reviews with this combo or each product itself?

I really appreciate the help and feedback and I just want to see if I'm on the right track here or not

order one set of camber bolts, and front and rear end links, if you really want to go deep on your suspension, do your ball joints, tie rod ends and strut mounts as well.

You can also do Suspension Techniques sway bars....

Probably a good idea to do strut mounts.
Change them while you've got it apart so you don't have to do the job twice.
Endlinks is also a good idea,
but ball joints and all that may be going a little overboard..

just my opinion.

Good to know! Appreciate the input. I need to figure out what all is included in that GR2 Kit now. I'm not sure if it comes with mounts or not.

So the revised list with added parts would be

Front/Rear Endlinks
Strut Mounts
Set of Camber Bolts

Guess its a good time to put my research into these now and decide which brands to go with on the Endlinks, Camber Bolts.

Appreciate the help guys! I'll get started on my searching on these items and finding out if that kit includes mounts!

Know what, Ive got that same set up, although all my stuff was bought seperate. As far as endlinks, I hear that twoasarus (or however you spell it) and the racing beat miata ones are good. Camber bolts you can go ignalls or eibach (although I think eibach gives you more deg.....up to 1.75). But when you do this, let me know and I'll cruise over and give you a hand.......as long as you have a bench vise! I've got the rest.

I will definitely let you know for sure seeing as I've got no clue on where to start if I had all the parts infront of me lol. I however don't own a bench vise let alone any worthwhile tools

What I've found so forth with camber bolts is Ignalls from Tirerack Listed here:
http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/Susptab...p;brand=Ingalls

Now it's 2 bolts for each side/wheel correct? And on that link for the rear fitment theres one that lists Camber adjustment +/- 2.0° and another that lists Camber adjustment +/- 1.0° I have not a clue on what I would be aiming for there.

I have no idea on which racing beat miata one's you are talking about but I still haven't searched thoroughly enough yet on them. Twoasarus? I've been looking for that name and haven't found anything yet. All I'm seeing so forth with just a google search is Moog endlinks. I'll keep looking though because I wan't to make sure I get everything right the first time around!
