you need CC plates with ANY lowering springs if you want your alignment to be accurate

you can also run the d-spec coilovers because you have an sn-95, i think its about $800 a set with springs

d-spec's also come in a non-coilover flavor

that are a bit cheaper too

you can to a certain amount, but it also gives you a little bit of strut travel back, and its just a really good investment i think, the money youll save on front tires offsets the $200 pretty quickly

bilstein are very good, but he wants adjustable
