Default What other components do I need after coilovers?

I’m getting coilovers soon on my 05 ls. Plan to go pretty low but not hot boi low. So my question is, will anything break or bend due the the height of the car? Like tie rods, control arms ect.. if so what’s a good after market brand for the item. And will I need any other component for an alignment? Thanks for the help.

https://www.shopfigs.com/v3/by-vehic.../cat-G3-LS-CAT - as far as i know as long as you're not going HotBoi low you should be fine -- Figs is the place to go for all things -- you can also find other brands like Megan etc. out there.

Yah tires wheel bearings, bushings, will experience extra wear you are changing the suspension geometry of the car that was engineered by Lexus.

thanks man this is for sure a go to site for even I go lower. I’ve been hearing so far is that everything hat is stock won’t have issues besides the toe due the the height of the car. ( and camber obviously will be present ) please correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t wanna f my car up

Having the adjustability of spherical / pillowball arms will make whoever does your alignment have less of a headache. The downside is the cost.
