Suspension questions

I've been shopping around for suspension items and I think I've got a couple of options narrowed down. I'm trying to be as cost effective as possible. So I originally want the koni srt.t shocks but they're on back order for a while, so I found a good price on the yellows but its still almost 300 more, which means I would have to get the 2010 version and just get gt500 mounts instead of the mm cc plates I wanted. I'm planning on steeda sport springs or hotchkis springs, so I don't think my camber will be off that much. So...if I decide I want the cc plates, I'll need to chose a different strut that is cheaper. Any suggestions on a cheaper strut? Or do you think I could skip the cc plates with my drop? Opinions welcome. I occasionally track my car, but nothing too serious. I don't really need the adjustability, and I'm not sure if I'll need cc plates with my drop but I see mixed reviews about that. Let me know what you think.

I would think if you don't care about adjustable shocks then you shouldn't need cc plates either.

A lot of people go with the gt500 plates and srt's with steeda sports, it is a common combo, I say do what you want to and don't look back!

Call Maximum Motorsports. I just ordered my STRT's a couple of days ago. Maybe they still have some.

Yep. If you're really serious get the cc plates, but for everyday use just get the camber bolts.
With that mild of a drop you'll probably also need just the strts. You'd probably be fine on stock for a while. That's a pretty small drop.
