I just recently lowered my front suspension and I am going to have it aligned tomorrow. My question is does the shop need aftermarket camber bolts to properly align the front end of my '05 stang or can they do it without them?

Same question myself as I am installing new springs this weekend. I PM'd Taco Bill about camber bolts and he just indicated that if I need them that I should only pay about $20 for them.

Good luck finding them that cheap. I think stang suspensions got them for about $25 plus s/h. I ended up paying $19 EACH at a local NAPA auto parts store because I needed them right away. To save money, while you have the struts out, go ahead and install the camber bolts BEFORE you take it to the alignment shop. I did not do this and he charged another $70 for labor plus the alignment cost. So I ended up paying $168 for the alignment job - ouch!!! I think he overcharged me a bit but I was in desperate mode so I had to dish it out.....keep in mine the clearance under the car - it is definitely lower and will scrape anything on the road....you basically almost need to learn how to drive it - seriously.....

Also check my post on installing the springs in about an hour. I did not use a spring compressor and was fairly safe if you are careful....it worked for me..... good luck and be safe
