anything else before installing new suspension?

i just received my tein s-techs and tokico illuminas in the mail. i want to get them installed asap. is there anything else i should buy to install with the suspension to compensate for the lower ride? i don't wanna drive around only to find i should've bought something to replace a stock part.

DUstboots ( www.tirerack.com - 95 mustang front - 95 miata rear)
Its a gable but you may need camber bolts to get alignment into spec. Some havent needed it, some have. I'd say better to have than not have (just sell in the for sale section if you dont need them, I know I'll buy them from you)

www.tirerack.com - the 1 degree bolt should do the job unless, you have something supremely bent.

strut top mounts/top hats whatever you'd like to call them. Stiffer suspension tends to throw them out and they make a lot of noise when they go. On my last car I had lowered I lowered it at 20k, and those start rattling at around 22k. Who knows maybe they're made better on maximas though. Check tirerack.com for prices they have the KYB ones, which even though their struts aren't the best those mounts are better than stock.

I would get a system, get boosted, get a front bumper, some skirts, a nice rear valence, get a paint job, get a nice hood, get something to eat also and then do it.

thanks for the advice so far. i'm definitely gonna get the dustboots cuz i've read other threads stating to get those too. what are the strut tops though? is it the one that's listed as kyb strut and shock mount? if so, should i get both the front and rear?
