I have a 02 gt lowered with the eibach pro-kit and the front tires are worn from the inside one tire is bumpy bald and the other is starting to show wire my question is does a simple alignment fix this issue or am I gonna need camber plates??? Should I get an alignment first and see if I need them?? Thanks in advanced

I think any drop 1.5 inches or more is recommended to have cc plates and a bumpsteer kit. You will probably want to invest in the steeda X2 ball joints also to help fix your front suspension geometry.

Well guys i took it to get an alignment to a buddy of mine that works at a shop he replaced the camber bolts I think they were, they were some bolt by the caliper and he was able to align it perfectly with out the cc plates. Thanks for all the advice and help guys really appreciate it
