Rear camber links

I started disassembling the rear to install the PowerFlex rear trailing arm bushings along with sway bar, coil over and H sport camber links. I didn’t realize there is an upper and lower OEM link and I only have one pair of H sport links, should I install upper and lower camber links?

You really only need lowers for a primarily street driven car.

This. Having adjustable upper and lower links isn't really necessary. Just replace the lowers and you'll be fine.

Thanks. I’m curious why, other than I see there is some kind of sensor attached to the upper left side that wouldn’t be able to attach to an adjustable. Does anyone know what that sensor is?

That sensor runs to your DSC and tells it how much your rear suspension is extended or compressed via an algorithm.
