Put it this way, the previous owner of my GT lowered the car some 1.5-2" kind of hard to tell exactly, but anywho, they didn't get caster cambers, needless to say both steering bearing burned up, one tire rod broke, and something else needed to be done that I don't remember what the hell it was, in short the repairs costed me some $1200, which also incorporated a few other things, but most of that was the suspension.

if u get the eibach pro kit cc plates are not require, actually just a simple alignment is and a set of camber bolts for stangsuspension is reccomended
