Due to the design of the front suspension, your front camber should be fine even after running coilovers. If you want a little more adjustability, wait until SPL or someone other than SPC releases a front control/camber arm. Camber should be adjustable within stock parameters even after coilovers. I got an alignment after a 2.5" drop and my camber was almost in line with the stock numbers. The only thing I would recommend is a rear camber or toe kit. Go with SPL for this.

For sway bars, go with whatever brand you want. Whiteline, Tanabe, Cusco, and Hotchkis are all good brands. Find something with adjustable endlinks so you can fine tune and dial in your setup. Without this adjustability, you're better off sticking to stock. I would even dare say that most people don't even need sway bars and tune their setup for body roll with dampening.

For labor rates, it's good to shop around. A coilover install shouldn't take more than 2 hours, so call around and ask for the current labor rates. You should take your car to one shop and stick to it so you can establish yourself and people know what they worked on in case you have problems.
