thanks for the tip. i'll definitely do that.When I installed these on both my cars I took a couple real good measurements so I could line up the new caster camber plates. 1 from the center of the strut bolt to a spot on the firewall ( marked with tape). 2 from the center of the strut bolt over to the fender (also marked with tape) I wrote these measurements down.
Once I got my new caster camber plates installed, I took time to set up to the measured dimensions.
I didnt even need to get my cars realigned.
Good Luck
The car has eibach sportlines on it and has been in need of these plates for a while now. My brother works at a dealership and will be taking it for alignment ASAP.MM instructions are more than sufficient. I would highly recommend a good alignment once you are done, using the specs provided in the instructions.

the measuerments you took?Thanks for the replies everyone. Plates are installed along with new poly coil spring isolators. I would have been screwed if I didn't have those measurements..
how likely is it that you will not ever need an alignment if put back to the same specs lol?See Post #2….
gotchaYou will need an alignment. The measurements will get it where you can drive it to an alignment shop. Look at the installation instructions and MM has recommended specs that are different than factory.
So when I put the CC plates on my 94 several years ago I checked everything over real good, drove the car, even went by a tire shop and showed the car to them, did not let them necessarily check it on the alignment machine explain some things to the guy he looked at the car and he said you may be okay he said it looks fine to me. So the steering wheel and everything is straight the car doesn't pull or anything like that and so I don't drive the car everyday not even every weekend and so I can't even say how many miles I put on it since I put the engine in. But all signs pointed to me not needing an alignment so I made a note to check my tires and see how they look inside and out and I'm sure they're fine but maybe in all cases you don't need an alignment LOL. They did come off of my other carYou will need an alignment. The measurements will get it where you can drive it to an alignment shop.

If it needs it sureSee page 8 for the alignment specs and get it aligned.
