If your choice of Eibach springs is the pro-kit. Your alignment will not even change, and no you will not need caster/camber plates. However if you choose the sport-line set . This changes ones thinking. The sport-lines drop is excessive for a every day driver. This will create a need perhaps for caster/camber plates,to provide the needed alignment to stop from destroying tires.

It depends on the car. I have a pro kit and they ARE NEEDED. Sportlines on an 04 I had they were needed too. I know others who have not needed them at all and have perfect alignments. I don't have that good of luck.

You can slot your bottom holes on your struts for a bit more adjustment if your just barely off and don't want to pony up for the cc plates. Or just buy them and be done with it.

Eibach makes springs for CJ pony parts.

they are a fair amount cheaper than the Eibach labeled ones. Something to look into

cater/camber plates are a good safeguard, if you're going to go with any i'd recommend the maximum motorsports version, they really help from having uneven wear on your tires (tires aren't cheap an a bad alignment isn't safe)

NOTE: i have a set of eibach pro kit springs for sale for cheap if you want them, brand new... PM me

mods feel free to ban me
