Quick Eibach prokit lowering spring question
Might order this today but when I talked to the guy over the phone he said something about plates or bolts I would also need to purchase for the allignment to be correct. Do I really need to purchase this extra stuff? Or is the kit good enough alone?

You'll be ok without them, the Sportlines are another story, you'll runinto problems there alignment wise.I have the Pro-Kit and dont have any issues so far.

i have asked this question before and many have told me that you most probably can get away
without putting all that stuff in, you can add them later on down the road

I have had the Pro Kit for over a year and haven't had any problems with alignment. The bolts they are talking about are for camber adjustment and you don't need them.

they are camber bolts.....sometimes you need them and other times you might be fine. They are only $35 and its better to have them on hand if needed than to not have them, need them, and then be replacing tires 5k later because your camber was screwed up. I didnt put mine on with stock shocks and stuts but it was needed when i put the dspecs in and then aligned.

I needed a bolt on one side only, the camber was out of spec after the drop. The other side was just in spec by a degree, right where I wanted it. So I used the 1 camber bolt to bring the other side in spec to where I wanted it.

I bought the bolts initially & then switch them out with the Steeda heavy duty upper strut mounts that are adjustable. My alignment was off in the front before I did this. I have the bolts lying around some where if you need them, PM me.
