Awesome, You really cleared up some stuff for me, thanks. I plan on doing the install DIY, but of course, I'll have to take it in to a shop for the Alignment. I figure I better have the alignment redone after the springs settle, too.
I wasn't looking forward to using the camber kit like TacoBill used and I was apprehensive of reusing the factory plates. This solves both problems. The springs I bought came with camber bolts so they were essentially free. But I'll spring for some plates and do it right.
My car only has 6k miles on it, but It'll have a lot more fast (2 hour commute a day) should I just leave the stock shocks/struts on for now?? And put on some D-specs later when these wear out????

Most modern cars are designed to be assembled once and then never be reassembled again which is why you need to buy a new strut mount especially with a 2006 car.
To be honest I'd do the install now and enjoy the additional control on offramps now.

Unfortunately after paying cash for the car I'm too strapped to buy the new shocks. I figure mine will be good for awhile since they only have 6k on them and I'll get the new ones later on when these wear out. By then I'll probably have a lot more HP and need the extra control, too.
Thanks again for the info, very helpful stuff. I'll be ordering soon.

If you are going to do it in stages....
I was under the impression that if perfomance and ride quality is more important to you than appearance, you are better off on the stock springs and replacing the dampers. The stock dampers aren't going to do a very good job of controlling the higher spring rate of an aftermarket spring.
