question about Lowering my maxi

I plan on lowering my maxi with coilovers, 2.75 in drop in the front and 2.5 in the rear. I'm currently on stagg struts that i changed over a year ago. I made a mistake of reusing my old strut mounts which makes a lot of noise when going over bumps.

I'm new to lowering my car and i was reading threads about how people need camber plates, so i was wondering would i need camber plates for a new suspension set up, and what exactly does camber plates do?

I also have a rear anti sway bar, that works really well and it stiffened up my rear quite a bit, i was also wondering if there is such bar for the front?

The stock front anti sway bar is more then enough.
Your coil-over drop will stiffen up the car more then enough.

Most coilovers come with camber plates (for the front).

Additional question

I am also lowering my Maxima but the total lowering will only be about 1.5 inches front, 1.25 rear. I have seen a lot about camber adjusting bolts. It appears that there only needs to be an adjusting bolt in the upper hole of the strut but does the bolt need to be installed at all four wheels or just the front wheels? Also are there favorite makers/brands or versions? Thanks to all.
