Default Lowering springs, need help!

I have a 2003 GT, and I am looking to lower it, I want to go with eibach springs, the pro kit which says drops it an inch and a half and the sportline kit which drops it 2 inches + are the same price, my question is if I go with the sportlines, will I have to get caster camber plates also to get it aligned right?

It is best to get them with whichever kit you get. I recommend the Pro-kit, it is what I have. However, I don't think it is required for either - just a precaution.

Here is what it looks like....

Very misleading though since the front is lifted due to the angle of the driveway. I have other pictures that I can't find right now. However, the Pro-kit is very nice.

I hate to be a tard, but it is the legal limit in TX. I paid a shop to do it, and just had the legal limit done. Think it is 35% on the sides, dark on the windshield strip and then even darker on the rear strip. (There is vynil on the top part of the back window now.)

Take care,
Ceyko

PS - I guess the point is to look at the legal limit for TX and you'll have the answer.

I just noticed your sig w/ the wheels. IMO, the Pro-kit is exaclty what you'll want with 18" rims.
