do I need a camber/ wheel alignment kit?

Hi,

I am going to get the Eibach Pro-Kit springs.

The front springs will lower the car 1.2"

The rear springs will lower the car 1.0"

Is it possible to correctly align my WRX with the stock suspension components or will I need to get the camber plates or camber bolts for this amount of lowering?

No need for camber plates or camber bolts unless you are going for a very agressive track alignment (or want to adjust the rear camber).

Any compentant alignment shop can get good negative camber up front to about -1.5 which is plenty for the street. The rear is non adjustable so if you want to change it, you would need rear camber bolts.

so technically it won't ride stock height and you need an alignment whether the car is raised or lowered
