Default coilover to strut conversion

Alright I have a question, I tried to search for it but it's just about going to stock to coilovers. I have coilovers on my rear and stock on my front, but soon my lowering springs are coming, and I'm just wondering what else I need need to get besides a new strut and my lowering spring. Is there anything else that I need? The coilovers are crap and the spring is way short and bottom outs it's spring rate on small bumps and such. So I'm getting Tein S-Tech springs coming for all around and I know that the it's in good order just to get stock struts and they'll be fine for that type of drop 1.3-1.5 inches. So what else do I need to replace my coilovers with in my rear end?

That's about it..just new shocks, KYB GR2s are fine, although AGXs would be better...or any kind of adjustable shocks for that matter. If your old shock assembly is old and cracked or falling apart, you might want to get new ones.

to tell you the truth i haven't check fully on my car to see if it does or not, but with the springs i won't need it but it could be a good investment if i go on the track with it.

the camber kit is for your alignment issues you may incure with lowering your car you can get them at parts stores or have your tire shop align your car for ya. i feel helpful

i have tien on my gst, and my alignment is way off. it pulls to the left pretty badly. might be a good investment to just get the camber kit.

i put my springs on today and it's great, no alignment issues, the only issue i have is when i turn right sometimes, my tires rub against my wheel well the left side is a little lower then my right, but i think it's because i'm mostly in the car. What do you guys think?
