From the looks of the rear, it definitely needs one. You also have to remember about adjusting toe as well. Well, I just ordered a rear camber/toe kit. I'll let you know right after I get it installed.

I've been running mine with the springmount mod for about 15k miles. I have not experienced any problems on stock shocks.
You guys can really get a little out of hand describing the ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING EFFECTS of dropping the car a half inch by cutting the springmounts. Give me a break.

ZOMFG!!! DO NOT DO THIS MOD. I REPEAT, DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!!
I cut 1/2" off my bumper block. The next day my wheel fell off while I was driving on the freeway, doing 150mph. My car went over the guard rail and flipped 50 times!
