If I lower my car 1.5 inches, do I need to add camber caster plates?

If it is only 1 and 1/2 inches you should be okay, once the lowering is done take it to an alignment shop and if they can't get it within specs you will need to add the plates. Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
