I bought new upper/lower control arms, adjustable sway bar, and lowering springs. I'm probably not going to put the front springs in right now as I don't have money for c/c plates right now. A am ordering KYB gas shocks this week and I need to know if I can use the stock shock size with the lowering springs?

Good question. I hear differing opinions on this.

What kind of springs did you get? Anything more then 2" usually requires CC plates. I put in C springs and Steeda Sports and never bought a pair.

tell you the truth I don't even remember the brand, I bought them more than a year ago and they've been sitting upstairs in the garage ever since. I know they're 1 1/2" drop all around though.

I think you should be good to go on the front. As long as your tires don't look like this / \ then your OK.

well that solves the c/c plate issue, now does anyone know anything about shock sizing with lowering springs?

I've read that you can put 93 and older struts/shocks on 94/95's that have been lowered.
