when you put new springs in do you have to get caster camber plates to eliminate tire wear . I read this in a mag and i wasnt sure. I prolly would have done thins mod but i didnt want to spend the extra 300 bucks for the caster camber plates.

A. The plates are not 300. more like 230 ish, little cheaper wiht forum discount.
B. Every car is different. Mine is riding just fine. I dont drive enough that I am going to notice tire wear anytime soon though.
I will eventualy get plates, but I dont care about taking it apart again either. So it depends on your budget, your willingness to do work, and how your car reacts when it goes back togehter. Oh, also what springs. The pro kit is a moderate drop. Definatly alot lower out there

One thing you might consoder doing is putting a little dab of locktite on the front sway bar end links. Mine came loose several times after the install. it wasn't until I used a wrench on each end and a little dab of locktite to keep them from rattling over bumps.
Wait until you get the shocks. They're awesome.

all right, well if 
then by all means I'll get some pics for you guys. Just dont say that I didnt warn you, this is how its been seance I drove it home....
So before the install i could stand my hand up between the tire and the body. Now I can get about two fingers. Not the most technical way of measuring, but I would it did exactly as advitised. About 1.5" rear, about 1.3" front. Like I said drive was great.... just havent been able to drive it seance....

You guys at all familiar with the stage 3 suspension kit versus the Eibach? I've heard conflicting things on the caster/camber too. Out of 5 people (installers and sellers)...
1 - said definitely
1 - said no need
3 - said optional
The steeda caster/camber plates are $270 most places online, with the MM at $330. If they are cheaper through here some how, please someone let me know. I'll also need a panhard bar too, so a price on that would be goodies.
