Parts order (suspension, brakes) - Need anything else?

Planning to order H-techs and either Illuminas or Blues (still undecided on the struts but...leaning Blues for my needs) in the next week or two. I am also considering going with Powerslot rotors and Hawk HPS (not PLUS's) pads at the same time. I will consult with the suppliers as well but I wanted to get some .org input on the following beforehand.

1. Excluding an error on the orders should I expect to recieve 100% of the parts required for installation or are supplementary parts needed (for example do I need a camber kit for proper alignment, etc)?

2. From your past suspension installation experience is there any misc. add-on parts recommended to simplify or enhance the installation such as new dust boots, bump-stops, mounting hardware, etc.?

3. I will probably order the suspension through www.sportcompactonly.com. Any better suggestions (this used to be SWA right)?

4. Is the rotors/pads decision acceptable or should I investigate different options (I'm just looking for a reasonable upgrade to the OEM brake system)? If I go with these products I am considering www.customenterprise.com. Never did any biz with them, are they reputable?

5. This will not be a DIY job do to lack of time, garage space, tools, etc. so...any input on details I should specifically communicate to, or require of the installer (will use a pro/shop specializing in Asian imports and dropped alignments post-install).

Thanks in advance.
