im not sure if i should spend the money to get them or not, i know people who didnt get them an their car was fine, im only lowering it an inch an a half. if i dont get them now an install my new springs, shocks an struts do i have to take everything apart again to put them on or can i just take off my old caster/camber plates an bolt the new ones on? thanks

I'd get them now, mainly because they're usually much better than the stock junk so long as you get a good set. And if you decide to get them later, it will have to come back apart.

They have some nice ones there. The UPR Shark ones look nice and have a nice price to boot.

There are also the Pro3i ones from Partshopper, which are very nice. They're the ones I use.

It's very likely that you will end up with a lot of negative camber, depends a good bit on the spring rate as well as amount of lowering. I also got a wierd, darty steering feel, probably due to the change in steering geometry and the lack of positive caster in the stock setup to tighten things up.
