Default Camber Kits?

I recently lowered my car with the eibach pro-kit and KYB shocks and a Struts. I already got an alignment but I didn't get a camber kit. I now have the money to get a camber kit but will I have to get my car re-aligned once I intall the camber kit? Also a friend told me that if you get a camber kit, the car will raise a little bit but Im not sure if this is true does anyone know?

How does your car ride with what you have now? I am installing lowering springs next week and I was wondering if I needed CC plates and I was told no if I only lower it no more than 1.5". Is it aligned fine now? If it is I wouldn't mess with it. and yes you would have to realign it.

If you had an alignment done, then I'd leave well enough alone. If you install the C&C plates, you'll have to re-align the front.

Voodoo, you should be fine with an alignment. I put two inch drop springs on my car, but the drop was less than 2 inches. Much less. I measured from the top center arc of the wheel well before and after. I dropped about 1 inch rear and maybe 1/2 inch up front. However, I have the DZSports, not Eibachs. I did install offset rack bushings. They lift the steering rack up to help adjust steering geometry. Takes about 10 minutes on a lift. THey come in aluminum or polyurethane. I opted for the aluminum to avoid rotation of the bushings.

Hope this helps.

Yeah you dont really NEED cc plates. They just give you longer life on your tires. I'll just leave it alone. I got the eibach pro-kit and since I got aftermarket shocks and struts it lowered it a little more so its about a 1.75 almost 2 inch drop. I was just wondering, I figured I would need an alignment. Oh well guess I dont need a camber kit....
