Probably, I put the Eibach 1.8 drop on my LX and I didn't but it also dropped 2.0. I bet with a 2.0 drop you will need one. I would just have it checked to be on the safe side.

No you wont...pretty much all the lowering springs available for the 3rd gens wont require camber adjustment, except for coilovers. I would recommend a four wheel alignment however.

when you guys put on the new springs(just bought the Tein S-tech 1.5"), did you have to replace the existing struts??...i have been told that its definately necessary....

if so, where can i find cheap struts (for a 2000 ES)??

I have run a year and a half on my stockers with racing beat springs which are stiffer than your B & G's....

Same here, coming up on nearly a year and 25000 miles on stock struts with my Eibachs.
No problems yet.
