Default want hotckis sway bars, trd shocks/springs, what do i need?

The holiday season is coming up and I'm going to be spoiling myself with some suspension upgrades to my tC. I want to go with Hotckis sway bars (front and back) and TRD shocks, springs, and strut bar and maybe 18"x8.5" Axis Hiro with Toyo Proxes 4 tires. I'm not into cars so I need some advice when I want to do all of this work. What else do I have to replace when doing these upgrades? I've heard about negative camber but what is it? What are camber links for? I would really appreciate any help that I'd get, thanks in advance

Sounds like your on the right track. Camber is how much lean your tire has weather it be negatve(leaning inward) or positive (leaning outward). When you lower your car youll notice that the wheel have a slight lean inward to them. That is negative camber. If your going with the trd lowering springs, having camber links isnt a must.

I would just get a alignment after your lower it.
