Any time you lower the car caster/camber plates are a good idea. The stock units are just very lacking in adjustment.

Yeah, I agree, BUT, if you're strapped for cash, I was told that you can do without the C/C plates until a later time, cause there is a bit of adjustment in the stock C/C plates. (for drops of around 1.5" front, the stock setup could be adjust properly!)

don't forget the bump-steer kit..

I'd recommend C/C plates for that much of a drop. I'm also curious about those springs. I've never seen anyone using them so I'd make sure you get some info on them before ordering if you haven't already.

With a 2" drop you will need CC plates. With the 1-1/2" drop I did to mine I also had to have the CC plates to get it properly aligned.
