sportline springs, do you need to put a caster and camper kit? 2 inch seem to me low?

i have eibach pro kits and no camber kits are required. But obviously that's going to be different for everyone's cars. i got the pro kits over the sportsline because of the ride comfort and not having to buy new shocks or camber kits.

100x114? I was looking at some 17" today. i think it look better with a set of springs. The pro kit only lowered 1.5 inch? wonder if the first gen. tl use the same springs as the honda accord, becase the bolt pattern is the same?

i've had 17" rims on my 97 for three years now without springs.. they looked ok for a while but now i'm getting my car slammed next month (hopefully) and getting a new set of wheels..
the car would look waay better if it was slammed... didn't do it until now cuz i didn't even know about the eibach springs until late last year

i got some 17's and i haven't dropped the car yet. its a REALLY BIG GAP!! if you dont drop your car, your rims look small than what they usually are. my 17's look like they're 15's or 16's cuz i didn't drop it. im planning on getting ground control coilovers since i found it they're only 4 bills! that way i can control my height. isn't the max height you can drop with ground control is 3"???? if so, im getting ground control!!
