Just bought Tein SA's, need advice

so i just bought some tein street advance coil overs, just need some advice as to what else to purchase.. I was thinking about getting new upper control arms.. new lower control arm bushings (because new lower control arms are expensive) and rear control arms.. do i need any of this? what else should i look into? gonna be riding my stockies for a while..

you don't need any of that stuff. just reuse your factory top hats and you're good to go.

you'll need a spring compressor for that, can rent one at auto zone for cheap.

You only need if it there's something wrong with your stuff. You will likely need a rear camber/toe kit though. INGALLS makes the rear toe/camber kit.

so you bought stuff even tho you were told you didn't need to?

yes. return them.

i guess i'm a tight wad. if there is nothing wrong with your current parts, why waste your money on things you don't need?

SB is correct. You should just return the rest of the parts, (unless your oem are in bad condition), and could get compliance bushings instead..............just saying?
