I'm lowering my '07GT this spring with the Eibach Pro Kit Spring Set and Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber Plates. I'm new to the lowering thing--is there anything I need to do out back as far as caster/camber goes? I know panard bar etc is a good idea, but specifically, is I don't even know if there is a caster/camber adjustment out back or anything. Are the plates only necessary for the front? Thanks guys!

No worries -- live axle...camber won't change. If I'm wrong, please let me know.

How many miles? I'ld recommend a set of GT-500 strut mounts, those seem to be a weak link.

An 86 EXP?! I haven't seen one of those in about 15 years.

I have the Maximum Motorsports CC plates, you don't need new strut mounts with them, they replace that part as part of the assembly.

I replaced just the springs last year and the ride was bouncy. This year I put on the Eibach struts/shocks and it rides like it should. The factory shocks in the back were getting locked up after being compressed constantly. Get an adjustable camber bolt for the front steering knuckle to get the front alignment true. An adjustable panhard rod is also the best thing to do for the rear to get that true. I did everything the easy and cheap way at first and then went back and did it the right way later.

Thanks guys -- I missed your posts. My notify was off. I ended up going with the Tokico Blues, FRPP springs, and Max Motorsports CC plates. Everything is great.

Those must be nice pieces, Maximum Motorsports always made excellent parts.
