Lowerin questions.

I have a 95 GT convertible. IM looking to lower it pretty soon, I plan on using the Ford Racing kit with struts shocks springs and front and rear sway bars. My question is do i HAVE to use caster camber plates or will i be able to get it aligned with out them. I already have a bumpsteer kit so do i absolutely need offset rack bushing. Im low on cash so im basically looking to do the minimum at this point and do the rest later. Thanks

I have Eibach prokit springs with KYB GR2 struts and KYB Gas A Justs on the back of my 95 GT convert. When I got the car it just had the springs on it and it was right on the edge of being able to line it up. I saved up the money got the new struts and shocks, Mac caster camber plates and BBK off set rack bushings. My shop that did the alignment said he could have done it without the plates, but it would be out a little causing the inside of the tires to wear more. He said if i elected not to use the plates that I would have to be sure to rotate the tires often so I could get the most use out of them. This may not be a problem for you since the FMS springs don't give as much drop as the Eibachs do. So to answer your question yes and no its just something you need to decide if you want to rotate the tires constantly.

I was told that you do not need the caster camber plates unless you plan on auto crossing. I lowered my car and got a 4 wheel alignment and have been fine. If you plan on aggressive driving, then yes you will need them
