From what I was told you don't need CC plates unless you drop it over 1.5" and I've never heard anything about said about pinion angle.

i wouldn't be super worried about pinion angle, but in any case, you really only need adjustable uppers to properly adjust pinion angle. solid lowers will be fine.

Dude all you need to do is install springs, shocks/struts, maybe cc plates and get an alignment....

hey i feel you on this once you lower it you will only need adj. upper control arms solid lowers will be perfect. upr products sells a badass kit that comes with a sway bar adj. upper and lower control arms. you can find it for like $450. once you have adj. upper conrtol arms look at the pinion angle (while it is on the ground not hanging the air.) and see wich wat it needs to be adj. remember to factor in the how the car will hunker down when you are going down the track. you want it to be as strait as possible so that there is no binding. wow i hope i am helpin you not sure if this was even what you are askin. hope i helped.
