hey about your qeuestions...

you will not immediately need to replace your shocks..you can go at least 30k with them, depending on the conditions and the way you drive.

you will not rub, you will be fine

you dont really need a camber kit, just get an allignment, cuz we all know that camber isnt a bad thing, TOE is.

that sounds good...you may look into sway bars down the line, not needed but they help alot. and dont get the TRD shocks, get Koni's, they are way better and like a hundred dollars cheaper

^ Seeing your car the first 5 times in different posts was enough.

I didnt see anyone asking for s-tech drop pics.

Dont hate on 06Xtc because he has a sweet a$$ ride. brag rights come with the car. lol, no but really, stock shocks should be ok depending on the amount of potholes you hit and if you swerve in and out of the lanes like a crazy psyco. just dont forget the alignment after you get it. if you dont get the alignment, with time, the toe will get bad, causing some damage.

lmao, envy? Please. In your last 17 posts, 13 of them included multiple pictures of your car, most of the time, no one even asked for them, or you just posted them in someone else's thread.

Enjoy your boring rims, although nice, they get lost in a sea of silver.

Heres mine...

"S-tech drop, no camber kit, 19x7.5, stock shocks."
