Lowering springs, C/C plates needed or not?

[88 Fox GT]

I've seen some people say they are needed and others say they aren't needed. I don't know how much I want to drop my car, but I'm guessing about 1.5".

Here's the stock stance now.

I don't want to completely slam it, just want a good stance because this is my DD.

If you can get the front end back in alignment than you don't need them. I have "B" springs and didn't need them.

I'd say a bumpsteer kit is needed more than the C/C plates.

I have sportlines and they are a pretty radical drop. I didn't need them but I am at my limits on the alignment. I am in the process of my 5 lug conversion so after that we will see if I need them or not. It just depends on the car I guess.

If you do a coilover kit you need them, otherwise I would go with the bumpsteer kit for now

I didn't mention it before but I also have a bumpsteer kit.

well then if you have the money why not

I was just in the limits at the stock ride height in my vert. I put on specific rate BBK lowering springs and absolutely needed the CCP's. Now with them on there was no problem getting a good alignment.

I think it depends more on the springs used and the amount of drop. I used Eibach pro-kit and have no problems. I say, install the springs, and go from there. You might be able to get everything right without aftermarket CC's.
