Just got the Steeda sport lowering springs for my non-HP Mach which should drop it about an inch all around. Planning to get them installed next week and this is my first time lowering a car, so i’ve been doing some research on what to expect. Are camber plates necessary for getting the alignment in check afterwards, or not needed? Just want to make sure I don’t run into any issues, so any helpful input is appreciated

Will probably need camber bolts at least, that is all I needed..(not a Mach tho).

You shouldn't need to change anything if your alignment tech can get it back to stock street specs. I have Steeda Dual Rate springs but it only lower the chassis 1/2". I have front camber plates and rear camber arms from Steeda but track my car and run more camber that you might need.

You may want to consider Steeda's bumpsteer kit as well. The kit is currently on sale and the link will also include a short film on what bumpsteer is and how this kit might benefit your car. I've used Steeda for years and their parts have never let me down. Best of luck in your adventure with your car. Steeda 555 8133 Mustang Bumpsteer Kit (15-22)

Both are recommended (Camber Plates & Bumpsteer Kit) but not mandatory. They both aid in the lowering of your vehicles & both have benefits:

https://www.steeda.com/mustang-bumpsteer-kit-benefits

Since you are doing the springs, doing the others at the same time will save you time & installation time/money. In short, the advantages (if the budget allows) will be worthwhile down the road.

Give us a call at 1800 950 0774 if you would like to talk about your set-up & next steps.

Hey TJ, pretty sure you answered this before but with the 555-8243 springs bumpsteer kit isn't needed, correct?

Hi! If you are proposing to install lowering springs on your car, it is recommended that you install camber plates to level the screen. When you install lowering springs, you change the geometry of the suspension, which can seem like unusual tire wear and vehicle instability on the road. Camber plates involve following the rules of suspension geometry, which will improve handling and increase tire life.Also, when you lower your car, make sure you have the front wheels and rear wheels balanced. This will help prevent unexpected tire wear and keep you safe on the road. If you have no experience installing lowering springs, it is recommended that you use a professional mechanic to install and check the alignment. If you had asked me that before, I wouldn't have been able to answer that question because I didn't even have a car. But now I can tell you with great confidence. Because now I can afford a car too, and I started to understand quite well. All because I started to make good money playing gambling , on one good bitstarz mobile casino BitStarz Casino Australia Play Now.

Lowering the car adds negative camber. If you like to corner aggressively that is not a bad thing.

When installing lowering springs on your car, it is important to consider additional components such as camber plates to maintain proper suspension geometry. This can help improve handling and increase tire life. You can also save up for any parts for your car by playing at a casino like https://roo.casinologin.mobi/ Roo Casino. Additionally, balancing the front and rear wheels after lowering the car is recommended to prevent uneven tire wear

I know this thread is a bit older. But I have the sport lowering springs on my car so thought I'd share my experience. I don't have camber plates, and my car is still with in spec camber. But yes, the springs do add addition negative camber over stock. I'm currently at -1.7 in front and -1.6 in rear. My alignment shop didn't feel that was overly aggressive enough to effect tire wear. I know some guys here are running much more camber than that.

I run -2.25 front and -1.75 rear on the street. I might raise this to -2 rear as it is a bit tail happy. I just don't want to lose any forward bite.

I could also lower the front to -2, I'm looking for neutral balance. I prefer all 4 wheels to slide as opposed to understeer or oversteer. This in a maintenance power corner.

I have even tire wear but I do like to take on ramps and round a bouts aggressively.

Ha. Well this post didn't age well. I ended up getting camber plates after all, since the camber changed and we could get it equal on both sides with out plates.
