I assume you mean no caster camber plates and/or bumpsteer kit?
Keep the drop at 1.5" or less and you SHOULD be Ok!

cheap and cars dont match....save your money and do it correct the first time by getting springs, shocks/struts and an alignment youll be happier in the long run. i went with the eibach prokit so i didnt have to get the cc plates and i dont want my car slammed just a nice lower stance
