I only have around $500 to work with,so my options are very limited right now. I am looking into springs and C/C plates,and running the stock shocks. I keep hearing different oppinions from people. Some say that I do not need CC plates if I get an alignment as soon as the springs are on. I am not sure what brand I want to go with,but I need a good size drop,as the stock height SUCKS. I noticed that one of the members on here,with the silver 01 Cobra,has HnR springs,and it looks to be the perfect height for me. Would I be able to run these springs without CC plates and shocks? HELP,Im sick of 4 wheeling around. <img border="0" alt="[BS flag]" title="" src="graemlins/bs_flag.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Mike</b> <br /><small>Member # 59</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,6,27,12,2,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> So should I just get the springs installed,and have it aligned?
