Is it a must when putting new springs on a stang to use camber plates or whatever? Or can you get by without them? Or can you get by without them, but it is a good idea to use them? (springs that lower the car 1-1 1/2")

Steeda has C/C plates that are designed to be used with lowered cars. There are several spacers in the C/C plate kit for use with lowering springs

Yeh its generally a good idea to use the camber plate bc they fix the camber problem that the lowering springs cause. Another problem that lowering springs cause is bumpsteer. That can be fixed with a bumpsteer correction kit. this link tells you the problems that accure when lowering a stang. http://www.miracerros.com/mustang/t_suspension.htm.
This is the bumpsteer correction kit. http://www.mustangwarehouse.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=1&Category_Code=50L6

And installing plates is easier than installing springs... much easier.
