Default Stupid Suspension Question

I have a 90 gt and I am going to install my Springs & Shocks/Struts with new Spring Isolators. After the install I will need to have the car aligned. Well do I have it aligned and then get my Caster Camber Plates put on for fine tuning or do I have the CC plates on the car when I take it to get it aligned? thanks

If you're lowering the ride, wait 'till you put on your CC's, and go with the performance street allignment setting. I think it's like 3 deg pos. caster, .75 deg neg. camber, and like 1/16 toe in. Get the bump steer bushings on there too before you go.

If I remember, I don't think you need an allignment to just swap shocks BTW.
