Default eibach lowering sping question

i brought a set of Eibach pro lowering springs for when i do my suspension
(MM complete rear susp. and new sway bar/springs and shocks up front)
and had some questions about the kit. I was wondering if i was going to need a bump-steer kit with this springs, or if the change is small enough that i will be fine.

Thanks For any or all input
N/A

generally speaking with these cars

anything dropped 1.5" or more, bumpsteer kit would be needed. anythign less than 1.5 you should be able to get by with just CC plates.

all i bought when i had lowering springs (steeda 1.5 drop if i had to guess), was the shorter swaybar endlinks steeda recommended. no c/c plates or bumpsteer kit. ive had no issues.

I have the pro-kit on my car. I did not buy the bumpsteer kit or cc plates, and have had no problem aligning it or driving it this summer (keep in mind I only put on about 1000km). Over the winter I will be getting the bumpsteer kit, but not getting cc plates.

Ive not got those springs but im running coil-overs, cc plates and bumpsteer kit and the car acts like its on rails. Heck of a lot better than the wore out front suspension I took out. Granted Ive got a whole new road-race front end under the car.
