I'm thinking of doing the suspension next on my car and want a 4 bolt caster camber plate. I was set on steeda's set, but I haven't heard anything good or bad about them. I know MM also makes a 4 bolt set and I know MM's quality is top notch, but the steeda advertisement is working on me and making it look like a better choice.
 
I know steedas and MM are top notch, anyone here on now Pro3i 4 bolt CC plates are. I need a set of CC plates, I chewed through inside of my front tires last summer, I dont want that to happen again on a new set of tires.
 
My vote is for MM. I don't have experience with Steeda's, but I do know that some have mentioned about certain brands not clearing the stock hood well and causing a rattling sound.

I had most of my suspension stuff put on at the same time. After the alignment was done, I couldn't believe how nice the car felt. The alignment was dead on. The car is dead straight and absolutely no bumpsteer or other adverse things.

I've got the black MM's instead of the chrome ones, but they still look nice and way better than stock.
 
I have the Aluminum 4-bolt Steeda's on my Mach and installed the J&M 4-bolts (Pro3i style) on my Son's GT. Both work great and for adjustments they are the same.

I had ordered the Pro3i style 4-bolts first but they were on backorder at the time so I ended up getting the Steeda's. I do like the looks (see picture) of the Steeda's but I think for the cost difference of the 4-bolt Pro3i's from partshopper.com doesn't really justify the better looks.

MM

I like my MM's. I am sure the Steeda's are a good product but i am not a big fan of aluminum especially when its supporting my car. I use to race BMX and dirt jump back in the day. I have seen to many aluminum bikes break and really hurt someone. I stuck to the steel bikes, heavier but more reliable. Granted this is a much different application but i put more trust in good old steel. I guess i am just biased twords steel :D
 
Regardless of the claims, I sure wouldn't be the first one on the block to use aluminum CC plates, 4 bolt or not, with coilovers. Griggs are the exception, but they're more like an aluminum brick than a plate. I'm using and recomend MM for coilover applications.
 
Thanks for the replies guys. I will say that my dad runs HPM 3 bolt ALUMINUM caster camber plates on his 91GT and that is what Jason at PA Racing recommended and what MANY of the racers use, so the aluminum doesn't scare me, but I do want the best I can get for my heavy ass car. I will do some more checking into some of the others mentioned here.

I welcome any more input.
 
I'm in the same boat I've already lowered my car and i have a set of new tokico illuminas on the work bench just waiting to be installed and i'm at a toss between steeda and MM. I'll probobly go with steeda. They look damn good and you cant go wrong with steeda.
 
I havent heard anyone mention the D&D 4 bolt plates. If you want a show engine, then go with steeda or UPR. They are very shiny and look great, etc. If you just want one for the simple fact of working, then D&D is a great choice. They are much cheaper than most and work GREAT. Tons of adjustablitity. They were easy to install and had great instructions come with them. good luck.
