You should be able to get it aligned without aftermarket CC plates. You can get camber adjustment bolts for the struts to help get the camber back in line much easier. Steeda has them for $30. (probably can find them cheaper somewhere else)

I went with CC plates because I got a good deal on a set, but they're not needed with C springs.

Your car is not lowered enough to have CC plates. You will be perfectly fine...

Don't need them...especially with C springs. Anything under a 1.5" drop and you should be ok. Anything over 1.5, and you'll probably want C/C plates and Fox body struts.

It wouldn't hurt to have CC plates. You probably won't need them if you stay at 1.5 in. Just make sure you get an alignment done after the spring install. Keep your eye on the front tires to make sure they wear properly.
