You'll eat $200 on the first set of tires let alone the countless others you'll go through without the CC plates.

I have gone at least 15k on my tires without CC plates and they are wearing just fine. And yes my car is lowered a lot.

man i lowered mine 2" and i never got the cc plates. Big mistake. I ate the **** out of a good set of high performance tires. It wears on the insides of them too hard and now theyre almost down to the core. Time for new tires and cc plates!

+1 for Maximum motorsports C/C plates, they're by far the best out there. You're gonna need a bumb-stop kit so you dont bottom out when you go over large bumps. Also, u'll need an alignment as soon as you finish lowering it.

Is a bump stop kit seperate? or does it come with the C/C plate kit?

bumpsteer, not bumpstop. Bumpsteer is for the tie rod ends I believe. You can use them with C&C plates or not. It would give you more versitility in adjusting your front end, but unless you road race, you don't "need" them. My drop was only about an inch and I used offset rack bushings, but 1.5 and over need more than that.

Good luck.
