No more suspension...
Seriously no more money spending..lol..Alright check this I have my C-springs that have settled nicely. Mach 1 shocks and struts coming in Friday and I just picked up my upper and lower rear control arms.
Now down to business do I REALLY need caster camber plates right now or can I do without them for now?

No need for Camber Caster plates with the following:
Ford C Springs
Eibach Pro Kit
H&R Sports
Steeda Sports
Any alignment shop SHOULD be able to get your alignment settings back to stock with the above springs. If not, find a new alignment shop.
With Sportlines and Super Sports, your alignment settings to get back to stock are too extreme for the stock adjustments, that is why you need CC Plates.

Icefreezin ought to know what I'd say but I'll say it anyway... "Need"=no. You may have tire wear issues or trouble getting the perfect alignment and you'll never reap the benefits of increased caster without plates but it's not really necessary unless you are having tire wear problems that you can't otherwise deal with.
That being the case, I heartily recommend getting a set of plates from, of course, MM. Once you've done that and had your bumpsteer checked (and corrected with a bumpsteer kit if necessary), then by all means call the suspension done. Just don't call it done becuase you're tired of spending money on it, call it done because it handles and looks the way you need it to.
FWIW, I've had B's, C's, Steeda sports, and Eibachs and all of them needed plates to get the alignment just right and eliminate tire wear. I was also dealing with the likes of wheel works for the alignment and they're normally just brain donors in my town. After going to a shop that does more performance oriented work, it was a little better but not much. After coil-over and the required plates, it's perfect.
