alignment with eibach springs

I'm considering running some new OEM bilsteins with some eibachs on my '94Z...and it hit me that the front end isn't easily adjustable like thirdgen's or caster/camber. If I install these, will there be any issues on having my car aligned with C5 wheels? Any more parts required? Can't find anything on a search and dont feel like chewing up some new nitto's...

Since the front suspension of the 4th Gens is not a "strut" like the 3rd Gens, but rather an unequal length upper/lower A-arm with coil-over shocks, the alignment is fairly easy. There are adjustment slots at the front and rear bushings of the lower control arms that allow adjustment for all but the most radical lowering.

I ran a 1.8" drop on the front for a while.... +4deg caster, -1deg camber, .1 toe. No problems with tire wear.

So additional parts are not required then? I talked to SLP and they said that they might require a set of adjustable control arms or an adjustment kit. I dont plan on slamming it, maybe just using SLP springs to lover it about 3/4". Thanks
