Before installing coil overs...?

So I went with H&R coil overs..And I plan on lowering my TL no lower then 2 inches. Now This question might be from my paranoia of suspension with problems in the past. BUT i really need any advice on this to bulid my confidence in my coil over instalation..

What other parts are recomended with the instalation of coil overs on a 2006 base 3.2 TL model?

So far I only know I should get better top hats..but any other parts you all can recomend would be great!

Thanks guys.

better top hats? why? as far as i know, only the tein basics and tein ss require any work with top hats, and thats to re-use the stock ones.

get a rear camber kit

Never heard of "better" top hats for the TL. Maybe an additional set of top hats to make installation easier...

at what lowering height do most of you suggest a camber kit start coming into play? anything greater than 2"? 1.5"? etc...I want to get coils soon and am also wondering what else I should get...plan to drop around 1.5" - 1.75"

^depends. everyones camber gets knocked out of whack differently.

some may say you'll only need a camber kit if you lower more than 2"...however, i only lowered mine 1" and my camber was crazy out of spec afterwards.

it's all trial and error.
