Hi all, I searched this topic previously and found a lot of varied answers, so just wanted to see if my initial approach was sound.

Only looking to lower 0.8” with the Eibach euro springs, not currently looking to track the car but don’t mind additional upfront upgrades. Goal is to still be able to get a decent alignment but more importantly, try to minimize any additional stress on other suspension components. Was thinking of going with new front and rear sway bar endlinks when lowering.

I realize I will get some additional negative front camber from lowering but would it be less stressful on other components to do this via camber plates instead? Or LCA? Thanks!

Honestly for just street driving and the occasional track day, you don't really need to upgrade anything else.

If you wanted to start upgrading things to improve steering/chassis feel then yeah you could look at FLCA's, Rear Camber Arm and then replacing things like the rear control arm/knuckle bushings, and doing something like a diff brace. That'll make the car "Feel" better to drive without a huge cost in increased NVH but realistically for a street car you don't really need the extras outside of lowering springs.

It's more a want than a need, or if you start tracking heavily, then it makes more sense to do the extras
