I'm only going to guess that you bought some cheap coilovers? If so, I suggest not putting them on at all. They'll probably cost you more money in the long run...

With coilovers you pretty much always need to run some aftermarket shock, so that would be the first thing you'd need to buy aside from new coilovers.. After that, there's not much else you need. Just get an alignment when you have the suspension completely installed and set at the ride height you want. Changing the ride height after the alignment will throw off your suspension and same with removing and re-installing any of the suspension parts.
