Since you have 18s youll probably need caster camber plates when lowering it. Some do, some dont so buy the h&rs and if you need em, go buy some.

that doesn't make sense to me, maybe i am just stupid, but when i replaced my 15's w/ 17's the rims w/ tires on the 17's are the exact same height just the ratio of rim to tire changed drastically. but in tclark's case his 18's are bigger then any stock wheel so i can see the possible need for c/c plates with a drop.

actually they are not much bigger if at all... lets see...18" + 35mm and 16 + 55mm..i dunno if they equal the same or not but they are not far off but i might just go ahead and buy the springs along with the c/c plates for saftey...and how hard are c/c plates to install and do i need to do anything special with them?

my alignment was just barely fine w/out CC plates, but to each his own. I'd try and get some just incase... I need them now, my alignment is WAY out...
