s13 suspension help

alright so i'm trying to figure out what to buy next. right now i have tein lowering springs on my vert, and for some reason the camber is different on each wheel, my rear passenger side tire rubs when i go over bumps, and i'm sick of it. i have been scanning the internet trying to figure out what kinds of suspension parts i should get, but i figured you guys are the experts, so what should i do? i have been thinking about coilovers, sway bars, camber arms, control arms, all that stuff, but i dont track the car so maybe they arent necessary and would be a waste of money, i dont know much about suspension setups.. just looking for some input and suggestions on what parts and what brands are worth buying

If you want to save money, then check to see if your ruca and your toe rods are maxed out already on adjustment. It is always important to get aftermarket control arms to accommodate the new aftermarket lowering pieces.Theres no point on getting coilovers next because you might still have the rubbing problem, unless you lower it some more causing it to camber more in the rear. Even though you dont track the car, aftermarket control arms helps your alignment preventing premature tire wear and gives you better mpg. As in brands, dont cheap out on egay junk because this is dealing with your life and everyone else that is sharing the road with you.

thanks for the advice, right now the suspension is totally stock besides the lowering springs. i have been looking at websites like godspeed and enjuku, and they seem to have some decent prices on suspension parts but i figure that they're cheap for a reason. i was thinking about rolling the fenders, but i dont really know of any shops in the area that i would trust with that.. i'm in oceanside ca, maybe someone has a place close by that they take their car to?
