Coilover install

Looking at buying these: http://www.meganracingperformance.co...-p-537403.html

My question is, what else will I need (besides an alignment) in addition to this purchase for a coilover install on my 03?

I'd make sure the rest of your suspension components are good, like control arms tie rods and sway bar bushings. Just so you can get a better ride.

You can just use camber bolts, then, but any lowering at all will cause negative camber that's noticeable.
2" drop is mandatory as far as I'm concerned. Nissan was stupid with these things.

You will be wasting tire. Just a FYI (tires spin too easy).

Uneven tire tire wear will occur from the negative camber. It's not that big of a deal IF camber minimal and the tires never spin, but these FWD torquey beasts will eat up the tire pretty fast.

Depending how low you go, may need an adjustable QT Link.it adjusts the rear wheels, as our rear tires shift to the passenger side the more you lower it.
