Default 1" Drop Caster/Camber Plates?

Looking into a 1" drop using Eibach Pro Kit Springs and KYB shocks, do you think I'll need adjustable caster/camber plates to dial in the alignment properly? I know they make it easier but would like to avoid it if possible. Any suggestions?

CC plates aren't something that will hurt your value. If anything they'll help it b/c even the factory ride height can't always be properly adjusted....They couldn't ever get my camber right until I installed mine.....

Yes, I agree with you, does anyone know where you can get caster camber plates that are black, rather than chromed or polished aluminum?

Thanks Jasper, thats what I'd like to do if possible, gonna set the alignment machine for a 93 cobra, since i have the 17x9 wheels, and with the 1" drop I'm hoping to maintain a decent ride quality and not need any plates, or rolling fenders. Thanks guys
