You need to take it to get aligned and they will let you know if
cc plates are needed. I have Eibach sportlines and have not had it
aligned and it drives straight as an arrow. If there is enough adjustment
left you won't need cc plates. Won't be able to tell untill they attempt
to do the alignment. I love the look of a lowered stang. Stock there
is way too much fenderwall showing. Just installed new Nitto 255/45's
and the tire fills almost the entire wheelwell. Looks great!!!!!

What about for the older 4.6's? I have a '97 Cobra, ordered Sportlines and Steeda CC plates. Should I hold off on the CC plates until I go to the alignment place for their technical advice? If my car is fine, I could send the C/C plates back for credit or possibly even a refund.

Yup, the main differences of the 96-98's and the 99-04's are the body panels and the PI heads for the 2V engines, then the change to the T-3650 in mid '01. Obviously the 99-04 Cobras have the IRS, and the changes to the 4V engines like the intake, and some stuff with the heads I believe.

Ya, I knew all that. I just figured they would use different small parts for the different Mustangs. Your basically saying the entire chassey on my SVT Cobra could be swapped in a GT and no one would know?
BTW, If you were me, would you hold off on the steeda c/c plates when installing the sportlines, to see if they were even needed, or would you go ahead with the install along with the springs anyway?
I would put in the CC plates even if you don't require them. Reason 1: They are a lot stiffer than the stock plates with rubber bushings. This will translate into better handling. Reason 2: You may need them in the future. Why go through all the work twice when they don't cost that much more in the first place?

They couldn't get any less than -1.9* camber in my front end after I installed the H&Rs. Its supposed to be around -.5*.

I had a ~1.5" drop from Steeda sports and needed CC plates bad for the left side. It was 1" out even with factory adjustments maxed out. Right side was about .4" out so it needed them too.
