Alignment with the Pro-Kit?

Just wondering if I would need a front end alignment after I install my Eibach Pro-Kit on my SS/SC? Im thinking no since the Pro-Kit doesnt drop the front any. Just want to re-affirm my thought. Also Im sure someone is gona ask "Why did u get the Pro-Kit?" Well the answer to that is "I wanted a more aggresive handling set-up that leveled the car out and also didnt screw with the angle of the axles."

It's not about how much the drop is (That deals more with camber), it's the fact that you had the whole front suspension basically unhooked. To drop the front strut housing you took the bolt off by the caliper, and nothing says it will be perfectly alligned once reinstalled.

I love the drop, the ride and best of all the way the car handles. If u can get away with the sportlines with where u live do it, I cant.

Its not harsher at all, still rides pretty smooth. Handling is way better, wish i did it awhile ago. My buddy with a 99 GT mustang put Eibach Sportlines on his and man is his ride bad, any little bump u feel it!
