Need help guys (and gals). I am about to do my front five lug swap. I am using spindles from a 95 gt. I need to know if cater plates and a bumpsteer kit are needed to correct the drop of my Eibach launch kit? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Depends on the car. Some cars make it work, most do not. USually if you lower the car, you need C/C plates. A lot of guys claim they aren't needed, but usually the top of the front tire tends to tilt in when dropped a bit. So you may need C/C plates irregardless of the 5-lug swap. I beleive Sn95 spindles do increase the camber slightly as well.

As for bumpsteer kit. I would do it on a lowered car
