Default Camber bolts needed or not?

I got my frpp k springs and struts/shocks. I was thinking they came with camber bolts, but they are not in the box. Won't I need camber bolts to adjust caster/camber as needed with the new suspension? Will I also need a front end alignment? Please post up and let me know. I have not ever lowered my Mustangs before and I know zip about it.[>:]

I've been researching about this for a while.

What I learned is that you won't know if you need them until after the install of your springs, then see how off you are. Some cars need them and others don't. I just got my Eibach ProKit for a great price and the camber bolts came with them.

But you will need to do an alignment for sure.

I installed the Steeda ultralites which dropped my car about 1 1/2", I did not need the camber bolts,
I did get a wheel alignment and it aligned perfectly.

Probably so, but getthe caster/camberchecked first.
Camber Kit $20.95

Eibach Pro-Alignment Kit for 2005-2008 Mustang.

When a vehicle is lowered, wheel camber may become excessively negative, meaning the top of the tire is angled inward (toward the center of the vehicle). While some negative camber can improve traction & handling, too much can negatively effect handling & accelerate tire wear. This kit assists in adjusting a vehicles camber back to factory specs & allows an increased adjustment range to provide a performance alignment that uses negative camber to maximize the true potential of your suspension.
