Default Another coilover question...

I am sure this answer is out there, but there is only so much searching and reading that can be done. I have been searching the internet for coil-overs, from ride comfort, to performance. I have narrowed my search to get BC coil-overs to retain comfort along with tune-ability. I have done plenty of coil-overs on my past cars so I will be alright with installing them. My biggest question is, what other suspension supporting mods would be a great idea to buy when getting coil-overs? What I mean by this are the control arm upgrades out there. How recommended is it to get these other adjustable parts to take care of some of the camber and toe. Is it something I need to help adjust the car so I don't get premature tire wear? If there is some more dedicated links or maybe I just missed something let me know please. I don't mean to take up another thread, its just all the info on the net gets a little confusing!

What I already have is Fsport shocks and mag link lowering springs, fsport sway bars and chassis brace.

All i know is, get the swift springs. Worth it

If you dont lower the front tha tmuch you won't need a camber kit.

They're lighter aka less unsprung weight. They don't sag over time. For some reason they are stiff but supple at the same time in comparison to another spring of the same stiffness.
