how low with no Caster/Camber plates?

I'm sure every car is different but on average how low can you drop a fox without requiring caster/camber plates for proper alignment.
anyone put on a set of eibach sportline springs? supposedly lower the car 1.7" front and 1.5" back

I've got the sportlines and no alignment problems. My car has the "onionhead" strut mounts that were used on the 82GT and the later SVO mustangs from 84-86 only though. If the pavement in your area is bad then the sportlines are prety rough if the pavement is good then they're fine.

As you can see in the sig I have the camber plates on the notch and it is lowered approx. 1 1/2 inches. On the 95GT we have the springs but no plates, it is lowered approx1 1/4 inch, there are notcable drivability problems such as pulling to both sides on rough roads, jerky steering. I know this sounds like an alinment problem but the toe from the springs is what is doing it. I think that all lowered mustangs will benifit with the caster cmaber plates when lowering the stang. The will also reduce the tire wear up front. If you have skinnies up front it is a must. In my opinion that is.
