Buying cams what else do I need??
I'm looking at buying cams probably fast road or rally spec. I'm just not sure what else I need to be buying? Obviously I'll be getting vernier pulleys but do I need followers, springs etc.cheers

Assume mk6 as per your pic, so silvertop.
Cams are the only main thing you need really.
Lifters (can be re-used IMO unless yours are tired)
Verniers - totally pointless other than bling factor as Zetec pulleys are already of vernier design (keyless) as standard
Springs - only if required due to cam design/rpm and so forth - overkill for your off the shelf fast road cams tho
Rocker gasket - can be re-used if you're careful.
Cam seals - replace these to save cursing later
One thing to invest in is some graphogen. Coat everything liberally when building up
