Everything needed for a suspension upgrade? Options

I want to go with HR Springs but it seems like KYB is the the only strut/shock available for our cars except for Koni $$$. I need a list of whats needed to do it right ....... thanks

Thanks flyinglizard. I'm still considering going with Eibach Sportlines just for the increased drop, not sure if 1.4 and 0.9 is enough.

Thanks Spider, I appreciate that. I figure I can get them off okay...but if they do break, I'm pretty much effed until I replace it, right? So it might be safer to have a few just to be sure. Have your springs settled any, BTW? And are you happy with the performance & looks? Your should be just a bit lower in the front than a lowered ST, since your engine's heavier.

Well, I like it so far. Again, a bit bouncy (the springs had a bit of "play" in them before I installed). I dont expect to see much settling as its been less than a month. As far as performance, I like it. Can take corners easier now. Have not really pushed it though, as I want to rebuild the rest of the suspension....At least new endlinks/sway bars, bushings, etc....
If you happen to round out the endlink, you can just take a pair of alligator vice grips, and grab the opposite end (right before the boot) with them. Thats what I had to do.
