If you can afford it, get the full setup, if not, skip on the fans, you'll probably be fine, especially if you never plan on tracking it.

Right, at this point I have no desire to track it. I may go to the track once or twice. And it's literally just to see how much quicker it accelerates and what my top speed would be after a tune (if that changes at all). Can anyone provide a link to where I can get the fan? And also does it add any significant noise while running?

I got a question for you Sh0vel. I see you have stance coilovers, are you running camber arms with those? I just recently bought an SPC rear camber kit in preperation for getting my Stance's installed. I'm just making sure I went the right route.

I have front upper arms, I have stock arms in the rear. I run more camber than you would want to run on the street, most likely. Makes the tires wear weird.

The coilovers have almost nothing to do with alignment though. The need for aftermarket arms and whatnot is based purely on how low you want to go. The Stance units are capable of basically stock ride height (at least on my car, yours will be substantially heavier, so your mileage may vary), making the stock adjustments satisfactory (for now). I definitely sit a bit lower than stock, but I'm not slammed by any stretch.

So, in summary: It'll depend on how low you want to go as to whether or not you need aftermarket arms.

Maybe. I was just barely out of spec, and I was only running Eibachs. I went ahead and bought front and rear arms, and rear toe bolts. These tires cost too much to burn them up by being out of spec.

I'm looking at eliminating wheel gap. Maybe not completely, but definitely not where I'm at right now. Just doesn't look good.
