Swift Spec R springs question

I am ordering Swift Spec R springs today for my IX MR. Stock BBS MR rims. My question is what else should I have on hand for the install? Bolts ect. Also does it make sense to order Camber plates and pillows for the rear? IF so what brand do people suggest. thanks everyone

only if you need to adjust camber. unless you did something weird though you won't be rubbing on anything so you won't need to adjust camber (if you autox you might need this adjustment)

The factory eccentric bolt allows adjustment to -2*. Get camber plates if you need more camber than that.

I could get -2° camber on stock springs but only -1.5° on spec Rs with the stock strut bolts. Installer said he normally takes additional regular bolts and grinds them down as needed to get the desired camber, but I've just stayed with the -1.5° for now. I might look into that or camber plates in the future.
