How do aftermarket 3 bolt CC plates work compared to the stock CC plates and 4 bolt CC plates. Whats the brand of choice for 3 bolt plates?

steeda plates suck to work with. i deal with them on a daily basis and everything but M/M are a PITA to adjust. M/M plates are the ONLY ones you should be looking at!

I have a set of MM plates waiting to go on my car.. Let me tell you these things are SOLID.. Like I could kill someone by throwing it at them solid..

I think you also need the 4 bolt plates if you ever want to use coil-overs..

no, why would they make an inferior design? also on their plates, the caster and camber locknuts are all the same size. makes life a lot easier for the alignment techs.

shhhhh dont give out the secret. although my fav alignments were either a ford with twin i-beams or toyota trucks with the cams on the lower control arms. with the fords i just lined the bushing up with the hunter powertool thing and dropped them. i wouldnt even leave them loose just put them in, aim and gunthe bolt on, perfect every time. the toyotas are so easy with the camtool thing. just turn to green, do a caster sweep then blast toe with win-toe.

i'd have to say about any honda car or suv would be my favorite. they mostly are just toe one the front and rear. $80 for a 10 min alignment

true, although the civics that have the tierods like the chrysler LHS type cars are annoying.

i like the fords because i got an extra 2 hours to do the bushings that took maybe 10 or 15 minutes.
