I want to purchase a set of Eibach Pro springs for my '05. The salesperson says I must buy the caster/camber adjusters or I'll eat my tires. Is this true?

Thanks for your input...

Its a half truth, not all cars are created equal in terms of those adjustments. many people report being able to adjust them back to spec.

cleveland, did you have to get an adjustable panhard bar or lower control arms with the sportline kit?

Okay, so it sounds like it's best to just get the springs first, then if I can't get the alignment within specs, I buy the adjustment plates later!

I'll let you know how it comes out.

Thanks for all the input, this forum has been a great help to me in just a short time.
