Im planning on buying some tein s tech springs but i heard you need to buy new shocks and maybe a camber kit? May that be true?

Never lower a car on oem struts. You need struts that are meant to be lowered. And yes a camber kit is needed if you want to have a proper wheel alignment. By the way you will need to get an alignment after you lower your car, because your toe is going to be all out of whack, and obviously your camber as well. Don't cut corners.

You just need springs to lower it. All that extra stuff Nick mentioned is an added bonus for safety and comfort which you should also consider. But since you already have the springs, do it at your discretion. :thumbs up

Koni yellows are what a lot of people have. and it's not imperitive that you get new shocks, but it is highly recommended. I know a lot of people with just springs on OEM struts. some are riding fine, others have blown struts. Just know that the struts will blow out a lot faster if they are OEM

Get koni or tokico they come with a lifetime warranty. A lot of people run those with the ground control coil sleeves, which also have a lifetime warranty.
