    Does anyone think I can get away with just putting the springs in and having it aligned?

    its depends how much you drive it. i got sportlines but i dont drive it too much so im not worried about the tires wearin out. if you gonna drive it alot def get the caster plates cause it just doesnt align right without them

    I dropped my cobra about 1 1/4" and realized you get almost NO adjustment from the factory plates. I always thought you could drop it 1 1/2" up front and get enough out of the plates to be OK. Guess NOT!

    i would try a .400 offset rack bushing first then go to a bump steer kit, the offset rack bushings will work better with the bump steer kit.....less spacers=less deflection
