Happy new year everyone!

I'm finally getting around to making some suspension adjustments on my 2015 Nismo. I think i have a plan, but would love any additional insight.

Phase I: I'll start with BC Racing ER Series coilovers. The Nismo is a weekend and track-day car (nothing competitive though). I'm in downtown Chicago, so I'll only be dropping the car by .75" - 1" initially. At that drop and on stock Nismo wheels, I think I can get away without camber arms up front, but I will use SPL titanium camber arms in the rear. At .75" - 1" drop, do I need toe bolts?

Phase II: Assuming that I'm happy with how the coilovers perform, eventually I will seek to drop the car a bit more. This would involve installing an air cup system up front to avoid clearance issues, SPL camber arms up front and SPL rear mid links to get toe back in spec. To accommodate for the cups and rear mid links, Phase II would also see an upgrade to Swift springs (although I need to do more digging on spring rates).

For my intended uses, am I overlooking anything?
