C/C plates would be a good idea just for the ease of setting your alignment so you don't wear tires or experience any drift/pull to one direction.
As far as a necessity, I ran the prokit on my car without c/c plates for 3 years with no problems.. Camber and Caster were both in spec,
so it didn't wear a tire, and didn't pull. That being said your luck may differ. Getting a quality c/c plate like Max Motorsports now, would benifit
you down the road, in case you decided to upgrade to coilovers etc...

My friend who does front end/supspension/alignment work says there is a way to modify something? So you dont have to get CC plates. I'm assuming it allows for extra travel to get the alignment straight. When I get mine done, I'll try to take pics and get more info.

The factory plates are spot rivited onto the inner fender. Drilling out these rivits allows the plate to move freely and get some movement
out of them, but not nearly as much as aftermarket plates do.

That is probably it. My friend has been doing front end work for yeaaars, he's an older dude. If he says it works, I know I can take his word for it. I will hopefully get all that stuff done in the coming month. Wheels are on order :)

Whats the deal with the ISO's? I was going to replace mine, but then I'm reading that some of you guys take them out. Doesnt that cause noise in the suspension or something "not good"?

Really the right way to do it is to get CC plates, if you don't want to spend the money on then now just get them down the line.

another option is, you could use CC Bolts..

i used them for 2 years they worked great, until i got my MM CC plates installed.
