Caster/Camber plates?

Hmmm, interesting. So, no matter how low car is or how big a wheel goes on it the rear wheels will always be aligned correctly?

Exactly...there are no movable suspension parts in the rear that will affect rear camber or toe.

somebody post a pic of their steeda cc plates

As much as I like Steeda's stuff, I hate thier CC plates almost as much as I hate BBK's plates. The Steeda ones are ok for adjusting caster, but you only get 2 choices with camber. It lets you adjust it, but its not actually adjustable. (if that makes any sense) In other words, there are 2 different settings for camber. There is no inbetween, its either one or the other.

Yes, but remember the live axle can be out of line with the front of the car. This is sometimes called dogtracking. It is hard for a Mustang to dogtrack unless the control arms are bent or something, but Camaros can b/c they have panhard rods that track the rear. My friend's Z28 was all messed up so he had to buy an adjustable panhard rod so I could align the rear properly with the body. From the factory the axle was shifted to the passenger side by about 1.5 inches

Ok, just one more question. What are the adjustible rear control arms for if no adjustments are needed?

They're for when adjustments are wanted

For adjusting pinion angle or ride height

I took this one the other day, hopefully Ill have it all finished up today. Im having a small issue with my clutch cable hitting the header, but I have that almost worked out.

That looks much better. Is the entire distribution box in the fender? I ran the wires under the box and under the front of the car. The box still has the same location. I'm also filling holes.

OT-Fluidyne radiators work great as a tool bench. Oh and that's by far the biggest air filter I've ever seen. Looks like it goes past the headlight.

MM plates are the only thing I would put on my car...the best out there. Call Steve @ Houston Performance he has the best price (and it will be better than the price listed on his website)...I paid $175.

Do you have a number?

I wonder why yours are completely black whereas the ones I posted have a stainless or silver camber adjustment plate?

I'd imagine MM did that for their website so you could easily see the individual caster and camber plates.

Green Meanie,

An example of the need for adjustable UCA's would be to set the pinion angle for effecient launches. An example for adjustable LCA's would be for squaring the axle to the frame (if it's been in a wreck). You can also use them to make fine adjustments to your wheelbase. These are the LCA's I'm using:

Thanks. I doubt I will ever need to make adjustments(just street\strip fun), but thanks for the info.

Well crappers, I was hoping that is how they look. I like the individual silver part.

You can always have them chrome the bearing plate (for an added charge) or polish it up yourself.

Yeah the whole fusebox is up under the frame rail...And yeah, that air filter is huge. The one I had before was way to small and someone gave me this one for free.
