None. You probably won't need it. If you do, the Ingalls replacement bolts will work fine... I have them on my car. If you need a set I happen to have one...

I have ST springs and I had a rear alignment problem, but I think the reason for that was because I got an alignment done the very next day after I istalled the springs. So the springs never had time to settle in. I suggest that after you install them to let them settle for 1-2 weeks and then get an alignment. Another reason for bad rear alignment could have been because of very worn struts.

I had new KYB struts put on a long while ago and had another alignment done and I haven't seen any uneven wearing of the rear tires yet, but I still need time to assess for sure.

My mechanic was able to get all wheels into spec, so you shouldn't have a problem. If you have stock struts on your car, then do yourself a favor and buy new struts!! KYB's work great with ST springs because they aren't that tight of a spring.

Neither did I...I waited 2 or 3 weeks, went to NTB, and they fixed it up sans camber kit.

i can definatly agree with that. i let my springs settle for almost 2 monthes after i installed them (i just didnt have time to get it aligned). but the KYB/ST setup is great except the front wheel gap is a little larger than the rear, kind of looks uneven.
also, i'm thinking about tokico or koni rears and keeping the KYB fronts, the rear seems a little soft.
