I forgot to mention it has full exhaust, don't know what kind, only that it has a Megan header(I can read that when I open the hood) and an intake. But an intake and exhaust is so common I just forgot to mention it. This is my first time with an import so I thought I would get something good from the start. Heard these cars can be pretty serious when done right. I would like to keep it streetable as a daily driver, I got a Mustang I drive on the weekends.

1. A knuckle and a spindle are the same thing.
2. A camber kit goes on the upper balljoints, and helps prevent premature tire wear
3. A camber kit is not needed unless you are lowered more then 1"

Yes but it would be cost prohibitive.
You would have to purchase
SH knuckles
SH upper control arms
SH lower control arms
SH Radius rods
SH radius rod bushings
SH swaybar
SH swaybar end links
SH swaybar bushings
SH outer tierods
SH front springs and shocks
SH shock forks (the wishbone shaped piece that goes on the bottom of the shock that connects it to the lower arm)
etc etc etc
So even if you could purchase all of these parts used, you still would be spending
A LOT MORE MONEY then just buying the base front knuckles from the dealer.
