Default RE: springs and wheels questions

okay thanks guys, I have always been sorta hesitant to mess around with my suspension and lowering, cuz I really don't know too much about it. I want it just a little bit lower, but it looks like it involves a lot of stuff. I thought I could just get it lowered with some eibach springs then realign and be done with it. I'd rather not mess around with all of it.

Is american muscle a good company to buy wheels from? Are they good quality? Or should I look elsewhere?

AM is a great place to get wheels from...you shouldnt be afraid to want to do springs its an easy thing to do to your car while enhancing the looks and you can get away with just springs with the 1.5" drop theres not really to much more to it.

Cool, you think I can buy the Eibach pro kit, (then bring it to a mechanic to install and realign, (since I know NOTHING about suspension) and get it on there without anything else really to fix (like cc plates blah blah blah blah) ???

edit: I'm considering Eibach and H&R. because I guess I've heard good things about them, cant tell if I want a 1.5 or 2 inch drop. Do you have any recommendations?? And what exactly are caster camber plates, what do they do? I need aftermarket ones for some reason if I go too low?

c/c plates allow you to adjust more front to back /side to side which the factory c/c's do not allow with something lower than 1.5" both of your choices are good imo. You could tech do the spring install yourself and save 150-200 dollars but if you don't have the right tools etc it will be safer and wiser for you to have a place do it all....
