So Im shopping for Tokico Illuminas shocks and strutts, and Eibach Prokit lowering springs, the drop will be 1.5". I was wondering if this setup will affect my cambers enough to the point where i have to buy a new camber kit; and if there is anything else i should be shopping for when lowering my car 1.5". Appreciate the help.

Alignment will be maxed out on the stock CC plates so I would recommend upgrading, Also you will need to get either offset rack bushing's or a bump steer kit. I highly recommend the Bump steer kit as it is an easier install and it also helps to improve handling once the car has been lowered. Hope this helps.

You wont get a 1.5 drop from the pro kit, your lucky if you get 1 inch.
I didnt need anything else with mine.

MM camber plates would be great to make sure your alignment is dead on

I just installed Roush springs in my car without the CC plates and it was nearly dead on, but any lower and I would need them. Id venture to say it lowered the front around 1.2-1.3".

If you have the cash might as well get the CC plates. If you dont, then id buy a set of springs that wont lower it quite 1.5" up front. Each car is different though.

My rear lowered about 3/4" and the front lowered about 7/8". It looked like I had three dead bodies in the trunk all the time. I like the rake so I put polyurethane spring isolators on the rear and it helped level it out.

I bought everything from StangSuspension.

Yeah,everyone i know that installed the Pro Kit,didn't need C&C plates at all,and had zero issues getting it aligned.
Now with the sportlines,that's another story.
