Alinement kit?, Is it really needed on a 1.5 drop Options

[urbandork]

Puting on eibach sportlines which drop a stock celica down 1.5 inches. Do i need to worry about camber and alinement and all that stuff?

After i put the springs and struts in do i need to take it to an allinment center?

I got my spring compressor from autozone, you pay 40 bucks to rent it, and they return the money when you bring it back. there are two kinds tho, tell them you want the one to compress springs that have the strut in the middle. its 2 threaded rods with clamps at both ends

it is possible he wouldnt need an alignment, but isnt it also very possible that it could be thrown off, especially when replacing the stock spring with a shorter one?

No... it's a myth that installing lowering springs will mess up alignment. It depends on whether or not specific control arms and such need to be taken apart to remove the strut/shock/spring. In the celica's case, and almost all Macphearson struts, the strut comes out with little or no hassle, so no alignment modifications are needed...
