Better alignment. The stock suspension setup doesn't allow for ANY caster changes, only the camber or toe as it's more commonly known as. With a 1.5" drop you should still be able to adjust for toe enough to be in spec..but for caster....
99-04 Mustangs suck **** in the tracking department, meaning they follow every rut in the road. That's because the center point of the strut plate (caster) is almost directly above the control arm instead of at an angle. Ever wonder why your car seems to never track straight on a bumpy road? That's why.
If the car can't be aligned to spec without the CC plates then yes, they will help with uneven tire wear. You may want to look at a better alignment shop too to see if maybe your current shop just doesn't know what they're doing.

What are the benefits or c/c plates; also, will buying them help reduce uneven tire wear? And where do i go to get them properly adjusted and aligned?

yeah, it does follow just about every rut in the road. But another problem is that every time i hit a bump or drive on a rough road, the car is a biatch to keep in its lane, it wants to go all over! do you think a bumpsteer kit will change this?
