Default Lowering questions

Probably should have posted this here instead.

Maybe I should just leave the springs as is and only add the caster/camber plates so I can align the frontend.
Looks real good as is. Just a tad bit rough.
My only concern is that I don't won't to screw up the suspension.
I want it done the right way. But if a rough ride is the only downside
of cutting the springs...

i would buy the lowering springs and a set of cc plates. im going to be lowering my car here soon too and was wondering if anyone did it without cc plates and if your alignment was off.

hey gforcejunkie, you dont have cc plates right now, how does your steering feel?

It pulls just slightly to the left. Corners good. Road bumps and holes hit hard.

I lowered mine without CC plates too. I am happy, but next year I will install CC plates for more adjustment over stock.
The stock only can get about -1.5 of negative camber and no caster.

do not CUT SPRINGS.... there is no way they will be equal....lowered cars dot have to have plates.....if you go to coilover they are a must to help the shock tower deal with the added pressure of coilover...
