[QUOTE="RichV, post: 1086445, member: 17007"] Most springs don't require CC plates, they are a good mod, but my 94 had BBK springs with stock CC plates. They were a 1.5" drop IIRC. The stiffness of the springs is what minimizes body roll and helps to keep the wheels in contact with pavement. With new springs you may need to get an alignment, when I lowered my SVO I never aligned it and it has been just fine. I'm sure some guys can answer if the SN95 absolutely requires an alignment or not after springs. Struts, just make sure they play well with the spring rates you're choosing. A call to the distributor/manufacturer or google should answer that. Front CA bushings, yours are probably worn out and loose, so just replacing them would be good. Going to poly just removes a lot of deflection you get in the up/down movement and front/rear movement. This is due to the stock bushings flexing. The downside you will get more feel in the road/bumps. Rack bushings just give you a better road feel and crisper turn-in, it just feels much more responsive than the clapped out rubber bushings. The tires are crucial to handling, soft and wide is good. The tires do everything, accelerate, turn, and stop. The J&M control arms are great. I run the standard J&Ms on my race car (no spherical bushing) and was very suprised at their integrity after about 5 seasons of punishment with r-comp tires. R-comp tires tear up rear bushings like no tomorrow on road race cars. Also see pricing on [URL="http://www.hotpart.com"]www.hotpart.com[/URL] [/QUOTE]
