Default Finally getting Air Suspension - ball joints/camber kits/rcas needed?

What's up CL so I'm finally getting my air suspension installed next week. I've been on Tein CS for years and have finally decided to switch over to UAS bags w/ new kyb shocks. My installer is telling me that I should be fine with my current set-up and may possibly only need a camber kit for the rears, however I was wondering if I should be replacing anything else...ball joints/rcas etc... Keep in mind the car has 160k miles and I haven't changed anything other than adding the coilovers and never had any issues. Currently rides perfect.

I have a set of super aggressive Ordens that I've been waiting to put on the car (19x10 +18 fronts 19x11 +0 rears) fenders will definitely be shaved and possibly pulled. I only plan on dumping the car while parked and will always drive raised in hopes of saving my tires.

Any recommendations for any other required upgrades or replacements for suspension? any advice is greatly appreciated.

If you haven't changed any of your front suspension, I'd go ahead and get that done sometime soon (especially the lower ball joints). I ended up changing the entire front end in preparation for my air suspension just to be cautious.
