      Default Caster Camber plate recommendations

      Well, one of the old plates is busted
      That's why my "Fox Lean" was in the wrong direction
      They were crappy anyway, very hard to adjust caster w/o messing up the camber and vice-versa
      Any suggestions as to a good set for the twisties?
      Something kinda user-friendly?

      I have used and installed MM, MPH and Ford CC kits. They all are nice. I would just recommend staying away from the ones with rubber or poly bushings. I like the styles where they uses steel spacers.

      Ok here's a question for everyone.

      Why doese Ford/Steeda list 79-89 plate's AND 90-93 plate's when everyone else list's one part# for 79-93?

      I used the Ground pounder plate's and thought they where the biggest piece's of purple poo I have ever seen.

      My next purchase will either bee MM or FRP.

      What I noticed is there was a difference in the hole opening for the strut between the two year styles. One had it offset to the front and the other to the rear. FRP and others just made on large opening to cover both styles. The FRP CC plates I just installed on my car still had the instructions for the two styles. lol

      I've been happy with everything I ever bought from Maximum Motorsports. Their stuff isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for.
