Uh... sure I do. CC are not NEEDED if you aren't dropping it more than 1.5" I've even seen people with 2" drop that didn't require plates. CC plates are there when a regular alignment just wont do the trick when lowering your car.
I've been involved with many a lowering project. A lot of times just getting a proper alignment after installing springs on a car that hasn't been lowered more than 1.5/2.0" will give the car the proper stance. Anymore and the car will have problems. I've seen kids get CC plates when they didn't even need them. Just because someone on a web forum told them they are REQUIRED when lowering your car ANY amount. This is simply not true.
For example:
Lowering FAQ
1. Will Lowering my car Require me to buy CC (Caster/Camber) plates?
Not Always. When lowering a car up to 2" you are not REQUIRED to get the CC plates. More than 2" it will be very difficult if not impossible to get the car properly alligned. Some places can get extended bolts and such to make the alignment work, but CC plates are the preferred alternative.

Apologize about that. But I wasn't wrong about that either. Not in my experience. Lowered stiff springs simply don't bounce me around like the originals. Maybe we are speaking of a different bounce. Like hitting a bump and the car going up and down via springs. Springs that are cut will also do this a lot of the time. Again, it's not that I am wrong, I think we are just talking about different types of bounce.

POISON- i tihnk they are just different color'd SS springs..not sure though
and ke^in..my friend has Stock GT springs cut 1.5 coils with no ISO and MM CC plates with some shocks and struts ( i forget the brand name) and it rides the same as stock maybe a tad worse.
and our springs have a linear rate so theres no reason to bounce?
