well it's always good to have adjustable arms and rods and bushings replaced at the same time. it'll also help your car get back to the factory settings when you get an alignment if you drop your car.

well when you get coils and lower your car the suspension geometry changes like camber toe caster etc. if you are looking to go all out then get adjustable arms so you can adjust the specs back to factory specs.

if i were you i'd just start with a set of like megan street coils and a megan RUCA for the camber in the back. that's all i'm running and i'm pretty content with how my car runs.

Only the bushings and your tires that you probably go through left and right.
