Few questions on lowering...

Before you tell me to, yes I have searched.

So I just bought a set of tokico shocks and struts, and a set of bbk progressives. I know I should buy some c/c plates, but for now I'm going to have to pass, as thats not on the list at the moment...

Now, I know it is possible tat the car won't be able to be aligned but I'm going to take that risk as the tires are almost bad... I asked about installing this on another mustang forum, and I was told that if I don't get the c/c plates that I will bottom out the struts on almost every bump because the c/c plates give an extra 1-2" on strut travel....

Now, I'm very concerned with this. The stang has 144k on it and I'm certain the suspension is stock, and it rides rough, and not a good rough that comes with springs, but a worn out rough. Will I be safe to install these, is there any truth to the 1-2" of travel with c/c plates??

Also, how do I know if I need to get a bumpsteer kit??? In addition, do I need anything else to make sure that my car doesnt die??? I don't want to be driving down the road and have the front suspension just die on me... I've lowered ther cars, but never a mustang... So any help that I could get would be GREAT!!

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Thanks for all the replies, my main question is about the c/c plates, if I don't have them my struts wont bottom out like the one guy said. He said that the c/c plates give extra range of motion and that if I don't have them the struts will bottom out and will be trash in a few miles/few bumps...
