Default 2001 bugeye coilover choice- need help

hey guys,
yes you would have seen it all before, im new i have an 01 bug eye wrx, which atm is dead stock. I want to build it up into a little weapon, first thing i want to do is lower the ride height and make the car more rigid.
i have had a look around and found at coilovers and found some which are:
Just Jap Auto Imports
and
Just Jap Auto Imports
To get these installed is there anything else i need to do to the car? for example i've read the sometimes you have to get adjustable camber arms ect.?
And spring loads on the different sets, which are better?
cheers for the help guys
matt

I've got a set of Tein Flex off a Bug Eye which had just had about $1150 spent on them having a full re-con in Qld just before they were taken off the road, possibly one of the best coil overs available $1,550 ................. but you get what you pay for.

Ok, will have a better look around, but they fitted straight into the car without any additional parts ?
