Good kit, no worry about CC plates unless you want them.

You need them to align the car when there has been drastic changes to the configuration, ie...lowering the car 1.5 to 2 inches. Once the car is lowered past the ability of the stock CC plates, new ones are used because they provide increased adjustability. The springs you listed lower the car less than one inch so you should be ok. You will still want to take the car in after you install all the new parts and have it aligned.

I had the kyb shocks an struts on my 91lx an i personally did not like them so i switched to tokico illuminas (adjustable) with steeda sport springs an CC plates an it was aBIG difference.

cause ur goin from like a $40 strut to a $100 strut.. there better be a difference!

the GR-2's are good for a stock replacement. remember these cars handle poorly in stock form so anything BETTER than stock is going to help.

i have the AGX's and love them. worth the money

invest in some CC plates!
