Best lowering springs and caster camber plates for the money ?

Okay, I get it....you want a car an inch lower that still handles like a rowboat and does little or nothing for handling. Go with FR springs.

Anything 1.5 -2.0 or more, CC plates are needed. Maybe even a bumpster setup as well. The more you drop it, the more $$ it's going to get.
In my experience, lowering springs are usually STIFFER. Which causes LESS bounce. Now, there are people that simply CUT their springs instead of buying proper lowering springs. THESE WILL bounce.

qUh... sure I do. CC are not NEEDED if you aren't dropping it more than 1.5" I've even seen people with 2" drop that didn't require plates. CC plates are there when a regular alignment just wont do the trick when lowering your car.
I've been involved with many a lowering project in the 36 odd years I've been alive. A lot of times just getting a proper alignment after installing springs on a car that hasn't been lowered more than 1.5/2.0" will give the car the proper stance. Anymore and the car will have problems. I've seen kids get CC plates when they didn't even need them. Just because someone on a web forum told them they are REQUIRED when lowering your car ANY amount. This is simply not true.
For example:
Lowering FAQ
1. Will Lowering my car Require me to buy CC (Caster/Camber) plates?
Not Always. When lowering a car up to 2" you are not REQUIRED to get the CC plates. More than 2" it will be very difficult if not impossible to get the car properly alligned. Some places can get extended bolts and such to make the alignment work, but CC plates are the preferred alternative.
I was being carful and said 1.5" I wouldn't go more than 1.5" without getting them.
Anyone getting the Ford 1.25 springs, should not have to use CC plates. That doesn't mean they wont have to, there are freaks. But for the most part, no.
I myself have no reason to lower it anymore than that. The potholes around here are bad. Being that's the case, I am not going to waste money on a CC kit because someone on the internets told me I needed it when I didn't.
In EVERY SINGLE write-up about the late model Mustang's suspension, it claims this. Unless you are saying they are wrong as well?
BTW if anyone wants to read a kick-*** suspension guide..
