get megan coilovers. no, you won't need new shocks if you put in coilovers because coilovers are a complete assembly. you'll take out your OEM shocks/springs and install coilovers. done. $800

camber kit...ingalls rear camber kit comes with 4 arms. 2 per side. 1 arm for TOE correction and one arm for CAMBER correction. $160

you probably won't need a front camber kit, unless you're running aggressive wheels...but they offer ingalls, spc, skunk2, and other eBay knock off brands. $price varies$

i suggest doing your homework and reading a lot of info on this site. everything you want to know is already out there. good luck to you.

Not sure about cambering kit but xlr8 is about to have a gb for his new coils. They will be 850 with free shipping. Check out his thread, the coils are soo nice.

I don't think he meant tire, he is talking about how aggressive of a stance you have but if you don't have aftermarket wheels or spacers on your stock wheels you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Lioneater, its really hard to give u the "best coilover" for our cars. This is why i didnt tell u straight to get *this* coilover..

It comes down to experience and history/review.

Check out this thread: it has a lot of info:
https://acurazine.com/forums/heeltoe-automotive-365/tein-ht-spec-megan-h-r-what-coilovers-should-you-get-801396/

in the end its up to you depending on your budget

What are you looking for in a suspension? Ride height adjustment? Ride quality? Softer/firmer? Damping adjustment (adjustment of how soft or firm the ride is)?
