get the M/M ones. They are the best ones IMO and have very good instructions and support. I have done quite a few of these, so if you have any questions, then let me know

I like my BBK C/C plates. They are a 3 hole application so, they're very easy to intall. No holes to drill, just bolt them in. MM are very good as well but, I consider them all out race where BBK's are good when you just want a good alignment after you lower your stang.

You will still need an alignment. They just ensure that the shop can do the alignment!

If their sale price is still 205 bucks, just go ahead and get the Maximum motorsports ones, they are only 199 I think. Cant match their quality.

I got the pro3i's right here from partshopper, they are dups of the MMs. Intstall was a piece of cake even drilling the 4th hole. Just follow the directions that come with it

Ive got Hotchkis

Check out the partstrader on here....I have some J&M 4 bolt $150

On install...I used a small little metal ruler and made two small marks on the top of the fender from the center of the strut. (make a triangle; two dots on fender then center of the strut would be the third dot)

It just helped get the new ones as close as the old ones were so I could drive it to the shop to get the car aligned

i recommend maximum motorsports c/c's. get the best. drilling the 4th hole is cake, and if you can uninstall the factory ones you can reinstall the new ones. easy job

I used the Steeda CC plates on my Mach1 and the J & M's on my Son's GT. Both are 4 bolt design and both are great functional units. The install was easy and both kits had very good instructions.

Here is a photo of the Steeda's, note they did not come polished as in the picture, I did that before the install.

I got the Steeda 4 bolt as well. Easy install, look great, serves it's purpose. Either of the ones that have been mentioned will be a good choice.

What's the difference between the 3 & 4 bolt C/C Plates from Steeda? More adjustability?

4 bolt would be more solid for coilovers and seriously aggressive driving. I prefer Maximum Motorsports. Piece of cake to install, drilling the forth hole is no big deal.
