I have a 95 mustang GT that i have out a new tublar k-member and A-arms on, I also installed a set of coilovers on the front of the stang. I have not gotten an alighnment on the car yet and the two front tires are tilted in and is wearing the tires to the wires! I was wondering if the auto shop could correct the caster camber with a front end alighnment, or if I have to get a set of performance caster camber plates to fix the problem. I have about a 2 or 3 inch drop on the front of the car. I just wanted to get the facts before I went spending money on something that wouldn't work.

Im not sure, but I thought remember reading once that coilovers REQUIRE 4-way adjustable C/C plates, but Im not positive.

If you need them and your budge is low now, I have a set of Steeda 4-ways on my engine donor car (2 years old and hardly run) Than I am willing to part with so long as I get a set of stockers to replace them with. PM me if interested.

If your budge allows you to spend $$ on new ones, check out Max Motorsports 4-ways.

Good Luck

I'm with RC, I thought all coil over kits required 4 BOLT caster camber plates. I'm using the Steeda 4 bolts on mine with MM coil overs and tubular K and A arms and they work great.

i was under that impression too. if your still using stock cc plates theres nothing an alignment can do to fix that kind of drop.

not just that but the stocker cant handle the strain of the pressure from the coil overs. 4 bolts are a must!!!
