Default suspension question

when lowering your gt (05-07) with the ebiach pro kitsprings and tokiko shocks/stuts do you need caster camber plates? do you need anything else to correct the camber or do you not need to worry about that when using just the pro kit.

I don't have a spring compressor and my local shop wants $300 to do the install so I may at least do the rear myself at least...

Get yourself a set of camber bolts. Stangsuspension.com carries them. You should be able to go to your local Auto Parts store and rent a strut compressor which is all you need to install the fronts.

You don't need a compressor to do the install, I just did mine today without one. You'll have to get an alignment after, and they should be able to return the camber back without the bolts.

How? There is no way to adjust camber without the bolts, unless i'm missing something obvious.

+1 on not needing a spring compressor, especially if your going to install the tokico struts.
