That's a lot more drop than you think. About 1.5 will look really nice and be practical.

i hope u live in a place were the roads are new and speedbumps ar none existant. really all u need is the 1.5 drop and you will not even need to get the cc kit.

You MAY not need the cc plates. Unfortunately all cars are different in that aspect, but it is a pretty safe bet that you won't need them, just don't be suprised if you do.

An Eibach pro kit will set you perfect, you'll like it. It gives a slight rake, you don't want it too crazy.

So in order to lower your car safely, get the springs and cc plates?

CC plates are only needed, if they're needed. I would recommend getting shocks and springs, and if you have over 60k on the car, get some new balljoints, preferably the Steedas for lowered stangs.

Mine is 2.5" front & 1.75" rear drop ... I like it. Have to be careful around speedbumps, but it greatly improves the handling & appearance. I agree with the comments above, anything over 1.5" needs the c/c plates to correct the camber.
