Default Lowered suspension and alignment

I have been told that lowering your suspension requires you castor to be adjusted on alignment. As the castor is non adjustable on a std Fiesta, I have been told Pedders make a bolt to allow the necessary adjustment. Anyone using Eibach springs and any form of castor adjustment device?.

Id be more worried about excessive camber caused by lowering and thats only a problem with big drops. If you buy Eibach you won't have any problems

I had no camber problems since lowering mine, just a small toe adjustment was needed.
