Do I need some aftermarket ones or should I just have the stock ones adjusted?
I was reading up in the other thread and on FordMuscle they had to put in some MM CC plates because the alignment wouldn't set properly......

Depending on your car's suspension geometry, it's always a good idea. But it's not ABSOLUTELY necessary. But you should get them.

Same as Norgs here. I went through a pair of 50-60 percent tread tires in 2 months after installing the Eibach Pro Kit. I got new tires, and I still haven't put them in. The wear is bad. I bought Ground Pounder C/C plates ($109 shipper) a while back, but I don't have a place to put them in, and i refuse to pay $200 for install.

You can get away with out using CC plates if the drop is no bigger than 1 1/2 inches. 2 inches or more is highly recommended.
