yes your tires will wear down irregularly, on my car the inside tread on the left tire wore out fast, and the outside tread on my right tire wore out fast

No. For a 1.25 drop it shouldn't affect the geometry that much but you will need to have it realigned.

PHB is if you want better performance. It seems that you are going for looks.

YOU DO NOT NEED C/C PLATES FOR ANYTHIN AT 1.5 OR LESS. AT 1.5 IT IS RECOMMENDED, AND NEEDED FOR MORE THAN THAT.

the stock set up can handle that drop, just get an alignment after you are done. you will not have tire wear issues if the alignment is done right.

sorry your wrong. i don't have c/c plates with eibach pro kit and my tires don't wear irregularly at all. all depends on how good the alignment is.

If you're doing it for looks, then, no, you don't need CC plates.

Of course, if you're doing it just for looks, that means you're something that rhymes with 'nicer'.

You might need them, I'm just barely within specs with a 1" drop. I have bilsteins too if that makes a difference.
