[QUOTE="nate714, post: 15759692, member: 171958"] 1. I use BMR LCA brackets with UPR adjustable LCA's, stock UCA. Works fine, but I have read of some brands not fitting as well. 2. Yes lowering affects alignment, and you should get alignment inspected after any suspension change like lowering. Struts can have some impact on height, Koni's for example tend to run 1/4inch lower than stock in the front, but generally not. I did mine all at once - but a lot of people do springs alone first. 3. Caster/Camber plates would be ideal, since most are better quality than the stock 11-14 strut mounts (which are garbage btw I had to re-assemble mine after exploding the bearings all over my driveway) and are more reliable than using the adjustable camber bolts (about $20). I'm using the camber bolts and have no issues with them though. You can get away with springs only and getting the rest as your budget allows, it just means more wrench time in the same areas and more alignment inspections. Camber bolts are an 'ok' alternative to camber plates and you can get away with running stock shocks and struts for a while, their impact on ride height is minimal but you'll definitely want better shocks and struts eventually they make a world of difference.
