Default Small suspension upgrade

Ok, I have to take my car in for inspection. I already know my front tires will fail because the insides wear rapidly. Im going to buy some adjustable camber plates for that. I was also looking into buying a strut tower brace and full length subframe connectors. Iwant the camber plates and subframe connectors installed at the shop I'm having it inspected at because he's the only guy I trust around here.

Here's what I plan on doing.
1. Buy the camber plates, brace, full length connectors, and front tires.
2. Install the brace myself.
3. Take the car in, make sure he knows to weld in subframe connectors when the suspension is loaded.
4. Weld in connectors, install plates, change tires.
5. Allignment

Questions...
What companies should I get the parts for? I was planning on MAC for the subframe connectors and then Steeda for the camber/caster plates. Should I get the tower brace from Steeda.
I plan on modifying the car later on, should I get a strut tower brace that is designed for raised intake manifolds, or manifolds with spacers?
I've heard of people welding torque boxes or somthing? recommended when doing subframe connectors. Can anyone fill me in on this topic. Do i need to buy anything extra for this to be done?

Maximum Motorsports. I have their CC plates and their FL subframes. Both excellent products.
