Default Ford C Springs VS. Eibach Sportlines

Well im in a toss up between ford C springs and the eibach sportlines. With Eibach sportlines it will sit lower but then i will need caster/camber plates.

with ford c springs you wont need caster camber plates although it will be a good idea to do eventually, it isnt necesarry right away. you can find the c springs on americanmuscle.com for like 140$ shipped (minus the discount) i beleive eibach's are over 200$

you either need them to get your alignment within spec or you don't. I don't understand this statement, care to explain it?

sometimes you - sometimes you dont... Ive seen a few cases of that... Ford was nice enough to make a wide range considered "within spec"...[&:]

I dropped my car 1.5" up front and the tires wer clearly dogged in at the top. Looked like sh.t! Youneed C/C plates with ANY suspension drop! It's the struts that you may or may not need right away.

hardly anybody needs them with any of the ford racing springs. 1 out of 100 if I had to put a number to it.
I just don't see how you would need it at some point down the road if you don't need it when you first drop the car. that statement doesn't make sense to me.

because springs will settle in after a while and it will just be a good idea to have them. I didnt say he would need them i said it would be a good idea to get them later. Our cars werent meant to be lowered at all so droppin the car will throw it out of alignment whether it be very noticeable or not, it isn't like its supposed to be. so I think that while it isnt necesarry, it still may be somethin thats a good idea later on. Just my .02
