just some info...for the rears the whole strut assembly must be replaced, for the fronts only the strut cartridge. I went with the KYB GR-2's and love them. I used the suspension teqniques 1" front and rear drop spring kit...its awesome and you might risk rubbing the wheels every once and a while if you go lower than 1" of drop..I think..correct me if anybody is going lower with no problem on 9" rears. The camber plates aren't a neccesity...I got a 4 wheel alignment after I did all this and the camber is a little off on each wheel, but not enough to be a problem...if you go lower than a 1" drop it would probably be a good idea to get the plates. Dont forget to get new bump stops/ shock covers. The isolator plates are the piece which the strut actually sticks through and is mounted on...if yours are worn you might as well replace them while you're at it...I didnt replace mine and have no problems. If you want to be more hardcore you should get an adjustable shock...it's very simple to do/ understand...however make sure you have a friend and one hell of a breaker bar or an oxyaccetalyne torch....thats all i got...good luck
