You'll want them because they are valved much better then oem (especially for 03/04 owners) and the rebound only tuning will be of value to you given what you want to do

Good fluid choice, I don't know about the brand name of SS lines you've picked to really comment

http://z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?model...ing&prodid=304
Tein S techs
I'd rather see a totally linear spring choice given what you want to do with the car. But the S-tech springs are only mildly progressive and only in the front that they can be forgiven. They are a better choice then other totally progressive springs like GF210 or Eibach

SPC rear adjustable camber arms
No problem what so ever with the part, just wondering in what way you'll use them, to remove camber or add more in?

Hotchkis sway bars
Good choice, a front and rear adjustable bar setup, I would make sure you get the latest variation that has the welded on collars. Another area where you could have made a lessor choice but did not.

hawk hp+ brake pads.
So many pad choices, not fond of hawk because of owner comments since 2003, Carbontech or Project MU come to mind

Front and rear brake rotors [/QUOTE]
I think some will say you should do more or that non brembo's don't hold up and are pointless to use. In the end I guess it comes down to money and if you find issues in actual use that may or may not change your choice here.

im actually not getting new rotors anymore. what springs are fully linear, and offer the same or close to drop. I will be doing both with those rear arms. what pads do you suggest for my usage? The lines and fluid are a package so a pretty good deal in my book

Hotchkis? I'll let you know how the Teins/Tokico's do then, with some installed pics.
