I have new pro-kit springs and iso's and all new shocks and struts. I also have purchased mm cc plates but they are on back order. What do you guys think? Can I still get a decent alignment with 1.5 inch drop all around.

You can. I have the Eibach Pro's on mine, and my alignment is really close to exact, but not quite there. But if you want it perfect, get the CC plates. I have my alignment paper somewhere, but I cant seem to find it to give you numbers.

You are not even close to comparing the same thing

1st off, you are running sportlines which have more drop then pro kit

2nd off you cut them to make them even lower

Pro kit is only 1.5" drop, as mentioned not so radical that they require CC plates to align

You could probably get away without CC plates, definitely get an alignment though after the drop. A little camber isn't nearly as bad for your tires as when the toe is off.

I have the pro-kit and it dropped my car 2 inches all around but thats probley cause I need new struts. But I was wondering the same thing because my cars camber is negative but I think it looks cool and it handles a bunch better then what it did.

the last thing you said is the idea i had when i was typing! yeah my setup is way diferent, but imo i didnt deed cc plates! and his drop is way less then mine was, so "imo" not for a "fact" i would say he doesnt need cc plates!
