Bilstein Pro Lowering Kit

Pay for the alignment once.

The C/C plates are only needed if they can't get the camber in spec. Only way to find out if this is the case is to lower the car, and have them attempt the alignment.

Aftermarket C/C plates will let you dial in a little more additional caster, which is a good thing on the foxbody.

Long story short, buy all the parts at once and install at once. Shocks/struts/springs/C/C plates and then find a shop that will align to YOUR specs. MM has some good street specs they provide with their C/C plates.

Disclaimer though. Most "regular" car shops only align to the specs in their computer and won't deviate. You are better off finding a performance shop that will align to the specs you give them if you intend on trying a little more caster.

That’s how I do it on my car.

slam to the rear, adjust camber with a camber guage, and adjust toe with a homemade toe stick.
