    Default first drop

    new to diy lowering guys/girls, i'm purchasing the tokico illumina kit with springs/shocks and theyre going on an ej6, a few questions...

    1. Do I need to buy all new mounting hardware and bushings?

    2. Should i buy only the rear upper arm kit to adjust camber and set toe to zero?

    Any and all help is much appreciated!

    just put them on your car and go get a alignment. thats it. you dont need a camber kit. you dont need new hardware unless you see something that needs to be replaced which it shouldnt since they are just nuts and bolts.

    Tokicos are fine, for that kind of money you could have gone with better options with better warrantys.

    Installing suspension is very fun and for the most part very easy and straightforward. Be sure to soak your lower suspension bolts with PB blaster or some sort of penetrating oil for a few days.
