Parts list for suspension install -- Koni and NM

I'm so excited about getting my new MCS. I get to order it in 2 weeks and I know the suspension I want, but I have a few questions for the experts.

I'm lowering the car for looks mainly and spirited back road driving. I don't think my car will ever see an autocross track. I just don't have enough time in my life for it.

Anyway, I'm getting an '11 MCS with the JCW challenge wheels. I'm immediately ditching the run flats for Continental DWS 215/45/17 non run flat tires.

I'm set on going with the NM Springs because of all of the great reviews and I'm getting Koni Yellows. I'm just a firm believer in doing it right the first time so I'm changing the struts at the same time. I'm not doing coilovers because I don't want to have to worry about running spacers for clearance. For point of reference, I'm getting the JCW challenge wheels.

I've read through many threads and I'm still a bit confused as to what else I'll need.

Do I need a rear lower suspension bushing? http://www.waymotorworks.com/r56-rea...ngs-or-gp.html

How about lower control arms? I've read that I'll need those to adjust the camber. If I get them, I think I'm going to get the TSW arms.http://www.waymotorworks.com/tsw-rear-control-arms.html
