shocks and struts?!?!?!?!?!
 
i have a set of lowering springs (bbk 2inch specific rate) and i want to put new struts and shocks in. although my caster/camber is out casue my tires wear on the inner edge. My question is, should i use caster/camber plates, for one to make it easier for adjustment, and do i need them so i dont blow the new struts out, from the little bit of hieght i'd get out of installing them??

You can use the stock C/C plates with aftermarket springs and struts. Aftermarket C/C plates will give you extra range to adjust your C/C settings as well as better maintaining your settings during aggressive driving.

you dont have to get the plates but man they look nice when u change the ride hight (lowering) u will have more neg camber which means the inner side of the tires will ware..but how ever you can elongate the hole to get more positive camber,theres usally always a way to get a few extra tent of degrees..so basically u dont need them but there a nice show piece.. but leave the alignment up to you local shop

If you've got the bucks, they won't hurt and are recommended in lowering applications.
