How is your tire wear without CC plates on a lowered car? The best way to look at it is the packages that companies like Steeda(G-trac), Max. Mts(the starter box), and Saleen(the beginner kit). They sell those kits like that for a reason. Personally Ithink looking at the Steeda kits will give you the best idea because they break it up into steps. I stick by their quality products and they also have great customer service. Ialso hear the same about Maximum Motorsports but have no experience with them. Give Steeda a call and they'll tell you exactly what to do. <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Tryin2GoFast</b> <br /><small>Member # 3166</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(2003,10,8,12,43,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I have a set of MM CC Plates waiting to go, once i get my new tires mounted and balanced.

MM has great stuff. For suspension, MM and Griggs are both good.
