When installing coilovers
Does upgrading sway bars still needed?
What about camber kits? Do I need those due to lowering the car?
Is important enough to get so that tires will wear out evenly?
After the install of coilovers do I need to take it to a shop for re-alignment?
Thanks

sway bars would still help out a lot if you plan on doing autox or something.
if anything a camber kit will only be needed for the rear. but even so it isnt too bad without it.
and for the alignment. wait a couple weeks to let everything settle.

If your going to go auto-x, you'll need to upgrade your sways.... some run TRD, some run Hotchkis, the trd are definately much tamer, but do the job decently well...
It all depend on how low you go, if you need a camber kit... if you drop it REALLY low, it's probably a good idea, but if you go conservative, which is better for the suspension geometry anyways, it should be fine...
Coilovers should settle pretty quick, but get an alignment within a couple weeks for sure...
