Full agreeance with the waiting. Two weeks isn't long to wait and do it all at once, rather than taking it all apart twice. I have the prokit springs with Tokico HP struts and the steeda balljoints & bumpsteer. Also MM c/c plates. The setup is great, the time to take it apart numerous times isn't. Do it all at once and do it right. Tires are expensive...especially on 18's...

yoru tires will look like this /----\ mine do right now and i've gone through my tires in less then 4 months of summer driving. they look nice till you see the inside of the tire which is bald as well now.
the C/C will help that out. now you don;t need them if you don;t mind buying new tires pretty quickly ( say in a couple months assuming yours aren't new)
a bump steer kit will help too and x2 ball joint ( both of which i'm still debating if i'm going to install myself or not, turns out i need a press for the x2 ball joint and a tie rod puller)
anyways my two sense.. get it.. if the money is tight get it when you can' its just a pain to have to take that all apart again just so you can install the c/c with the new struts and then have to have it aligned again.

if you want to cheap out and not get the CC plates go for it, but when the shop says that they can't align your caster right and you get vibrations at speeds and what not, you might want to consider investing in them

with a 1.5" drop you shouldn't need cc plates it all depends on the vehicle. You can get cc plates just for the added adjusment. it's up to you. I have seen people with a 1.5" drop and they were able to align it just fine with out the plates. It's up to you

i've had them on there for prolly over a year and after first i drove em without an alignment, then i got an alignment and it pretty much shredded the thread off the tire in a very short period of time, but i got new tires and so far its just fine

as for spacers...look up the horror stories on them before u commit to getting them

that rear gap does suck though...

if at all possible see if you can't get one from an off road manufacturer... i know people that run them off road on wheeling trips with out much problem

Again...stop with the impatience. Just save up for wheels and tires. Don't risk damaging your car because you want to take short cuts.

They don't look half bad to me, as long as you tighten them a week after installing them ... they are made by spidertrax which makes legendary products... so idk

$0... Just do it yourself. It's not tough... there are lots of How-To's, and you can save the money for more parts.
