Suspension/Camber Questions

[Flash5]

Ok guys/gals, I am getting close to dropping the p5 and just have some quick question for you suspension gurus. Hopefully by the end of this i won't come off as too much of a noob and get my moderator status taken away

First off I want to make sure I have everything set to go when I install the springs, struts and rear sway bar.

Things i have/am buying soon:
-Eibach Pro-Kit
-Tokico Blues
-Progress rear sway bar
-Front and rear AWR endlinks

Here is where I need some advice. What else will I need? I believe i need to cut the bump stops like two notches? What else do I need to take off the stock suspension? Anything else I should look out for in the install.


My next set of questions involves camber. I want to run some negative camber. Now to do this, do I need to buy camber bolts or some other camber items or would the alignment shop be able to set the camber I want? How much camber would be good to run front and back?

Thanks for any help you guys/gals can give! I will be posting pics when it is all said and done.

Why cutting the bump stops?

Its highly recommended to change out your bump stops for msp bump stops or you can go the route i did and order these.

What's the difference, is it height or other?

Height is correct. Msp bump stops are shorter then those used on the protege5. Obviously, shorter bumper stops give the struts longer travel over bumps and in doing so....gives a smoother ride.
