If u dont want bald tires. Ur tires will wear very quick.

 

[CobRoush-00]

Highly recommended.

 

[DHG1078]

Yes. with a small drop some people get lucky without them but with that big of a drop you will need them. Otherwise you will wear through the inside of your tire faster than you could imagine.

 

[Longtubes]

Yes, or you will majorly eat through tires and it will never feel quite right.

Pretty much all the same but maximum motorsports and steeds stuff are what I'd look to buy. I have the 4 bolt steeda ones on my 2004 and upr(junk) ones on my 2000

Don't pay too much for cc plates. Any reputable brand will do. I would try to find a used set to save some coin.

With steeda 2x ball joints you won't need them, that being said, they are available in a "kit" form from steeda. The thing is, now is the time to install them since if you do it later it will require another alignment. realistically nay lowering scheme in a new edge or sn 95 should require the 2x joints, bump steer kit and cc plates to make it all work. Once again here's the problem illustrated, which is one of roll center, not really (even thought it is part of the equation) alignment.

 

[GM SMOKER]

Yes you will need them. I have the maximum motorsports, works great.

 

[Longtubes]

Remember, need a good alignment too.

Remember, need a good alignment too.

Probably the next most important thing other than making sure the plates are installed properly.

I just loosened my stock camber plates, pulled them back away from the motor as far as they can go then tightened them back down. But for the best result just buy some CCP.
