I am looking into buying a set of the Tokico HP's and some Inrax springs so I can get my wheels on the car without the shame of having a big gap....anyway, my primary question: What else do I need? How do I decide whether or not I need to buy new mounting plates for example? And are there any other things I'm missing here to complete this lowering operation?

Thanks in advance.....

 

get the strut tops, it couldnt hurt and they are notorious for making noise, also make sure sufficent torque on the top nut, they come lose and make noise and rouin the new tops. also an alignment is a good idea afterwards.
