I won't touch on the positives/negatives of each kit (I'm sure you have seen the recent posts on them) but will address the other questions. Depending on the kit you go with you need to make sure you have the mounts, springs, and possibly end links covered. Some kits will have all these (if they are needed) and others will be separate. The MPS in particular will have all that you need as they use the stock mounts and end links. Springs already in the kit as well. Camber plates are not included but can be sourced separately if you desire more camber. On a kit like the MPS this is the common setup (our Nitron Road Sport kit is the same way where it mounts up to the stock bits but we also have the option to add camber plates for those that want more alignment options). As you move up to more "performance" oriented kits they may or may not included everything you need so just need to make sure when you are researching what all they include. For instance MCS in my experience you usually piece together a bit - but if you work with a good vendor on them they will typically make sure you have everything you need. Our Nitron kits on the other hand are turn key - they included the camber plates, springs, and the adjustable end links that you need. Not saying this is better or worse - just is what it is

One thing would consider no matter which kit you get is to run a sleeve over the coilovers during the winter. They are readily available and do make a big difference keeping all the crap off of them. Adjustable end links are important if they new kit has a different mounting location. Again some do and some don't. Also if you have an aftermarket sway bar in the mix then that can change as well.
