Caster/ Camber plates

RE: Caster/ Camber plates
When I bought my car it had straight up ghetto cut springs on it... It also had C C plates on it. I went to get it aligned, the guy said he could only go so far, he said he could drill out the adjustment holes to allow it to straighten up like it should be. My car was probably about 2 inches low. I ended up buying BBK springs, fixed my problem.

My H&R's gave me a more than desired drop (prob close , if not 2") as a result my front wheels are going out to the sides it seems ( like this if looking from the front / \) Also the tires in the front seem to be wearing more and very unevenly, (i did have an alingment done and the springs installed by a professional shop. Caster /Camber plates would solve my problems correct?

If I understand your thread correctly, you are having a toe problem. If you are looking at the front of the car, both tires are pointing outward. This is like I said a toe problem. It is corrected by adjusting the tie-rods....turning them in. BUT I would recommend a good set of c/c plates. Getting the proper alignment does include all the settings together, camber, caster and toe. Also by using c/c plates, you can raise the strut height back up to where it should be. When you drop the front 1.5" or more and using the stock plates, you have now put the strut piston farther down in the housing. You have a big chance of bottoming out the strut now. Not Good. Get a set of quality plates like MM's. With a good alignment (a lot of pos. caster) the car will handle better and have a much better steering feel/input to it. Hope some of this info helps you.
