Some of you may remember that i was able to run my sportline springs without caster and camber plates or bumpsteer. Now I am coming to the end of my collection of parts for my 5 lug conversion.So, I am wondering if I need to go ahead and get the plates before i get everything installed and not have them. I am almost certain that I will need them as everyone on here has told me that their alignment was way off and needed them. any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I will all depend on your car. I do not have CC plates on mine, with stock springs, no spring isolators and all new parts in the front end. But I am at the very end of adjustment. I want to raise my front up a bit by reinstalling the isolators, so I may need them later.

If you can get them now, I'd go ahead. Or you can try it first, and if you need it, get them later.

None on mine, but i probably should do it soon anyway as i want to run coil overs and they will help strenthen the strut tower

I just want to run my car when I get the 5 lug done and not have to wait for one more part to come because I didn't get it before hand. I am usually really good about getting everything I need and somethings that I may not need but there might be a chance I could use them LOL!

If you can spare the $180, get yourself a pair of Maximum Motorsports Plates and be done with it. Do it right the first time and save yourself extra work and aggrivation.

that is what I am thinking as well. Looks like I am going to give MM a call.
