Default eibach sportline help

I'm about to place an order for the sportlines and I'm wondering a few things..

I'll have my 20' fr500's in soon and the drop as you may know on the sportlines is normally 1.6 inch on the front and 2 inches in the back.

What is NEEDED to install this?

I was told an adjustable pan hard bar and camber plates..

are both of those things NEEDED??

Can I get away without these?

The pan hard bar i kinda wanted to buy anyway but money is tight after buying my tires and wheels and suspension i don't wanna be buying all these extra parts i don't really WANT necessarily..

Please help!!!

Thanks in advance.

I'd definitely get camber plates so you can adjust camber if it is off, but you might be able to get away with using your stock panhard bar. From what I've read that varies from car to car.

Mine was dropped quite a bit in the rear, and over time it's settled even more. I don't have a panhard bar or camber plates. The car rides stiffer, but I don't notice the alignment affected too terribly bad.

Congrats on getting new wheels. Can't wait to see them. I know you've waited a while! Out of curiosity, what finish did you choose?

I ran sportlines w/ no other suspension mods for about 6-7 months. The ride wasn't too bad, but after getting dspecs, i would suggest you get them asap..
