Also look into their strut tower brace and caster/camber plates.

Now that the strut towers will be taking the load of the suspension, you want to reinforce them with a good STB and good C/C plates.

actually Mike the strut tower brace only enforeces the car during EXTREMELY hard braking, as the shock towers tend to mive forward slightly causing a mild caster change, does little to help stiffen the car, and its been proven that the car can take the load of coil overs just fine, lots of info and testing over on corner carvers about that, but yes C/C plates are a must
