To me, anything 1 1/2 or more of a drop, you need CC plates. Possible offset steering rack bushings, bump steer and so on. If it's 1in or less, then no.

Go to www.maximummotorsports.com and read their white paper about LCAs (lower control arms). This is one of the better explanations I have seen.

+1, I didn't buy the bumpsteer kit when I dropped my car 1 1/2" though. I installed the rest of the above list and had no issues.
