Coilover install
 
So I got my FA510's in today and am about to install them asap. Before I dive in to far will I need anything other than an allignment.

If you only lower an inch or tad more should be fine. Go much lower and you'll want to bring in back camber ie: Rear Lower Control Arms to bring in and balance camber as well you'd then want toe links.

Yeh i am not slamming it..gonna go as low as my base allows...have to lower it test it out at the stupid as speed bumbs to get on/off base then lower again if i can lol. As soon as taxes gets here I am getting full RacerxFab setup so the rest of it will be taken care of in about a month or so

It's in the DIY coilover section. There's a few pages out of the service manual showing all stock torque values on the LCA, and struts, and tophat nuts.

Stay with one inch drop and you will be fine. if you want lower then that you will need to adjust camber. most will say to get LCA's but after installing the Racer X upper control arms i would recommend those to make the adjustment. they do not change your toe like the LCA with can require you to buy toe links also.

Thanks for the info. I found that in the DIY after i asked the question. Like I said earlyer I do not plan to drop it that much because I have to drive over 4 ridiculas speed bumbs everyday getting onto base and leaving...But I planned on getting the Racerx setup anyway after taxes to get the alignment dialed in correctly. I will post some pictures after the install is done :P
