Im looking to to get camber plates for my 03 GT that is lowered with Eibach Prokit. I also have 18 inch rims and I dont want to wear the tires unevenly. Question is what is better 3 Bolt or 4 Bolt pattern Camber Plates?

Do you need the caster/chamber plates? You said your car is lowered. Have you taken it in for an alignment? Could they get it to spec without the plates? If they did then you don't need the plates, unless you want to increase the caster over stock spec to enhance straight line tracking.

I just wanted to do it correct, I havent taken it to get aligned yet. But this alignment shop is so meticulous about their alignments, they told me if I didnt get the alignment kit for the springs dont bother lowering it. Just going by waht they told me. Thanx for your input.

i have the 4 bolt but i used eibach's sport springs that lower it some more and the shop i went to could "barely" get it to spec with the plates. I would get the plates anyway. MM makes could plates.

you shouldnt. it seems as if every car is a little different though, so you may need them, or you may not. i didnt need them for my FRPP c-springs.

I have C springs and didn't NEED them either, but its nice to have. Did anybody else notice better steering response after installation?

LMAO (remembering the spring safety episode) actually the fourth hole could cause a massive structural failure

NOT

4 bolt. one thing installation wil be more expensive than the 3 bolt version look to spend $200 if you do not install it yourself.


***ALSO****
also you dont really need them unless youre going to drop the car more than 1.5 inches and or you are having castor issues which is the case with mine

also c/c plates also do not deflect like stockers do, every little bit helps in precision driving.

I went with Kenney Brown 3 bolts and jsut barely had enough adjustment to make use of...4bolts would have been my best bet but I didn't do my homework!

I noticed immediately improved steering response also. From what I understand it's because the MM's use spherical bearings instead of sleeve bearings.
