Default coilover installation

when i bought my 99 si the guy gave me a set of coilovers. Can i just install them or do i need to put on other stuff i.e.(camber kits, control arms, tie bars....)?

depends on how low you go. the front you can drop like 1.5 inch and it will be fine. but when you drop the rear you are going to do the washer trick or the whole camber arm. washer trick is like $10 for everything or the right way is about $80-150. people say that the stock shocks can not handle it but i think they will for a little while but shit is really rough going down the road. might want to switch them. if you go down too far you might want to get the fenders rolled. i have see someone on here use a wooden baseball bat.
