Default Lowering Car! Need Help!

Hey Guys,

Okay so I've got my H&R super sport spring and i need to order the rest of my parts to lower my car. I'm gonna be using Tokico HP shocks and struts to upgrade over the stock ones. My question is with the drop that the H&R super sport springs give will i need to buy caster/camber plates or can i get away without them. I'm just wondering if a shop will be able to dial in the correct alignment without the buying new caster/camber plates. Just curious what you guys think

Thanks!

Gonna need c/c plates. Get maximum motorsports 4 bolt c/c plates. They are awesome.

i really liked my qa1 c/c plates. i compared them to the mm set when we installing them and the qa1's seemed more heavy duty. just my honest opinion

I have heard that you can skate by a lot easier with h&rs than eibachs without the camber plates... However if your doing the struts too then go ahead and get them. If you want your steering wheel to be straight and your car to be aligned then you'll need them as well. If you don't have the camber plates... They will not be able to allogn your car and it'll pull bad... I did it to mine and never got them until it bugged me to death and I finally did. good luck with the install.
