just changing the springs will cause camber issues, I would not buy parts like that from lmc anyway, I have herd bad stories on big parts from lmc.

changing the springs will most definely change the camber. only way to correct is to have the i beams bent which is about a thing of the past.
best way is to bite the bullet & buy i beams.
hope this helps

thats why im saving up for fatman ifs. it may seem like alot of money but its really not when you think about it because you get power steering, discbrakes,ifs,trucks lower,cheap if you want to lower it more, add all that up and its not much less if any.

Yes they are right , but I cut 2 coils off and dropped it down about 4 inches and drove it to a alignment shop 60 miles and drove fine , my camber was off 3 dagrees and they were able to cold bend the beams to 0 camber and my castor was better than stock when finished , cost me $155 to lower front , I cut the tab off the bump stop and used aftermarket bumpstops and I have about 2-3 inches of travel and it rides surprisingly nice , someday I would like the crown vic swap 03-07 .
