RE: eibach pro kit.
I bought my car with the pro kit already installed no c/c plates or new struts with no problems. I highly recommend doing new struts at the same time, but I wouldn't worry about c/c plates.

RE: eibach pro kit.
you'll be fine w/o CC plates and if you do it right you wont need an alignment.
shocks & struts are recommended but not necessarily needed since the springs work fine w/ the stock ones but dont complain about the ride quality of it being changed!! to me i love feeling the road :]

i would do the shocks/struts the same time. eventually they will need replaced so just get it out of the way when you do springs. i have the prokit with stange adjustables but no cc plates and car is fine.

If you get shocks/struts, go with adjustables, if you cant afford them at the time, save up, I bought non adjustables and I regret it now, the install on the shocks is a piece of cake you dont have to do them both at the same time.

The springs do not work fine with the stock ones. There is really no real way to install a spring correctly so that you wont need to get your car realigned. You'll either need the c/c plates or you wont, you'll find out when your at your alignment shop.Withfactoryvariances you may or may not need it whenlowering it with the pro kit.With a shorter spring your shocks/struts will not be able to go through its normal range of motions. In the end if you wanna skimp on things like these, you'll be spending more time and more money later on fixing things you could have had setup correctly the first time. Good luck.
