Default 2016 AWD Base Coilover Questions

Hi everyone, I have some questions about coilovers for my IS300. Its AWD, and I've decided to go with the BC Racing BR-Series. As this is my first ever set of coilovers, my question is, do I need additional suspension parts to get the suspension back within spec? I only plan to drop it a little bit to get rid of the wheel gap. Also, is this something an inexperienced person could install themselves? I can do an oil change and have the tools, but I've never done suspension work myself. I also have a set of RCF LCA bushings on the way if that matters? Thanks for helping out a noob!

Welcome suspension work nothing like oil change haha. Depending if you bolt are rusted in or not will determine if you need more tool/parts. Stuff like your end links. You’ll likely need an alinement most importantly get front and rear toe to zero to save your tires.
