Most times they are needed when lowering because it creates negative camber and will wear out the inside of your tires.

I have those exact cc plates. I didn't "need" them with my install. I got the Ford B springs and it dropped my front about 1.25 inches but since it not only helps to get your car in perfect alignment, it also replaces the rubber strut mounts. I wouldn't so a suspension job without getting some honestly, especially on an older car. If you're going to do your suspension, do it right the first time.

1 thing about the MM CC plates... watch what shocks you get. Strange 10-ways have a slightly smaller shaft than stock, so when used with the MM CC plates they tend to be 'noisy' (some people have had luck making some kind of bushing, or by making sure they are mounted very tight). Shocks like the Gabriel Ultras have a short threaded section, so you will need additional spacers than what comes with the CC plates (this is probably true of more than just the MM CC plates tho, but that is what I have experience with).
Don't get me wrong, I do like them.... they just have some issues you need to be ready to deal with.

yeah i had prokit and i didnt need them right away but shortly after i did need them as the stock cc plates were maxed out.

I agree here i had noise with my mm cc plates only with stock struts. Put the bilstein struts on and silent. cant beat them i dont think with bilstein struts at least. i would buy them again in a heart beat!
