you will need adjustable bottom arms and tie rods will make your car handle better more fun to drive about 1 degree neg

Gonna disagree...
from experience of setting 100's of these these things up I would suggest 1 deg maximum, ideally 0 on a road going 13" setup
Castor on the 13" wheels is as much as you can get!! - but its vital its the same amount each side..(problem here is that it is gonna pull it closer to the front of the wheel arch). whos doing the work?
