Camber Bolts

[00redGT]

I'm getting ready to drop my '00 GT with some H&R SuperSports. If you have used camber bolts after dropping your car, what was your caster setting...especially if you have the SuperSports or Eibach's sportlines?

I'm really struggling over whether I should spend the extra $ for the C/C plates. If the caster is pretty good, then why should I buy the plates?

Thanks!

Camber bolts do not help with caster. There are many advantages to buying C/C plates. See http://www.maximummotorsports.com/cc.asp for most of the advantages but one important advantage is being able to adjust your alignment to a new setting provided by MM that you just can't adjust to if you don't install C/C plates.

I understand that caster is not adjustable in the stock setup, nor is it with the camber bolt, or it would be called a caster-camber bolt

My question is more geared towards what caster reading/setting are people getting after dropping the car with the stock plates. Basic geometry shows that caster will increase greater than stock caster, but how close does it come to MM's recommendations...or does it go over their recommendation, where I would then need a bump-steer kit?

That's all. I thought that there may be someone on this site that has put these popular springs on their Stang and just used a camber bolt. I just wanted to know what their caster setting turned out to be when it was all said and done. If was close to MM's recommendation, then I probably just get the bolt. If it were way off, I'd get the MM plates.

I guess I'm repling to my own post. This link has the best information on why to get the CC plates:

I'll be ordering them by the end of the day...now do I get chrome or powder coated...hmmm
