well i was very pleased with the FRPP C springs for the time i used them. they seem to ride a little firm but was very nice in handling. they also gave the car a decent ride height. if i was going to start over again and just make a typical cruiser i would buy them again or in my case keep them but my car is going strip/street and will have a complete drag setup..

no you dont need camber plates for lowering less then 1.5 inches and the B and C springs lower the car about a inch
