Default caster/camber plates

Can someone enlighten me on what these do? I've been researching where some goes go with some lowering springs and then they'll do caster/cambers. I'm thinkin that since the springs offset the balance on the lower than stock, which in turn causes the camber to react differently with the tires. Meaning that it will cause more wear on either the inside or outside of the tire. Do the caster/camber mods balance this out so to say?

yes, basically, when you lwoer the car a certain amount, the wheels will bend inward at the top, so you ahve to get teh caster camber plates, inorder to bend em back out and make them level.

I want to know with what springs are they required or with what drop is it required. If I lower only 1" do I still need them ?

you only need them if you drop lower than 1.5" you will be fine with the eibach prokit etc. do some searches on the site alot of your questions will already be answered.
