Dammn, im late to this party........
man, i really really think you need to read the suspension 101 thread one more time, but print the pages out and actually look under your car, maybe even have a mechanic buddy with you to explain the points of where toe is adjusted and where camber is adjusted on the car...
you seem to sorta be getting it, but still a bit off, or not putting it on type correctly here..
Also, the back and forth between, i talked to this person, i talked to that person, about coilovers is gonna drive you nuts........just do your own research and make an educated decision for yourself......weeding through the false accusations on coilovers is hard........
See this thread to help out a bit on that:

good luck
the coilovers that make the best used purchase are obviously the ones that make the best new purchase...so go through reviews, talk to people who actually know what they are talking about (which means going beyond "they feel good bro", and look through private classifieds for those that suit your needs/bduget. There are tons and tons of threads covering years of info on just about every conceivable coilover out there. Lack of info means they are either 1. so high end that few have them or 2. so low end that few have them/want them.

ive most likely decided to go with bc racing coilovers. I have read sooo many threads it almost did drive me nuts like you said jason. I read many reviews on bc coils, and they all like them. Good price for good products.

hey guys, on the stillen website, it shows the rear camber adjusters and rear adjustable toe arms. Do I need both of these if I am dropping the car? Some people told me a rear camber kit includes toe arms and toe bolts, but what is a rear camber adjuster then? Needed?

this is why I am getting confused with the rear camber adjusters and rear adjustable toe arms:
From jasons suspension 101 thread, he says this is all that is needed for the rear:
Okay so to get this clear – if your gonna lower your Z in that range of drop you need at least (lowest cost option):
REAR:
1. A After market adjustable rear camber arm.
2. Rear Toe bolt. Ie. SPC 72055 or see link below.
I see he mentions the rear camber arm, which I am assuming is the rear camber adjusters, but why does it say camber arm? Is that toe arm? I am getting royally confused between the camber arm and toe arm. And which one I need and don't need. And then, there is also the toe bolt......

Camber arm, camber adjusters, its the same thing, people might call them one or another but it's the same thing, same part, just a different term people use.
I think you only use toe arms IF you have true coilovers(because the bucket is removed and you need a whole new arm to replace that), toe bolts are IF your using the oem bucket.
