Castor and Camber Adjust Plates

I think the base plate should be used to adjust caster not camber and from the photo I see there it looks like just the opposite is happening. It's possible the Steeda plates are different. I have the MM plates.

I did what I should have done in the first place before opening my mouth,... that is looked at the instruction sheet from steeda. The Steeda 4 bolt plates use the heavy base plate to adjust camber, not caster. My mistake.

It's all good I do the same thing sometimes too. Open mouth insert foot.

steer clear of CAM cc plates...i made that mistake they are junk

DONT BUY STEEDA PLATES!!!!

they don't have much more camber adjustment than factory plates.

i love doing alignments on cars with MM plates and that is what i have on my car. i would not run or recomend anything else!!!!

I would beg to differ. You can just look at the 2 different pics of the plates installed here, Steeda and MM, and there is a serious amount of adjustment for both. Just look at this pic of a stock CC plate and say that now...........

it looks like the top of the strut tower has been slotted to allow more travel. hell if i slotted the strut tower i can adjust anything with the stock plates.

i do this for a living and i have lined up more than 100 mustangs with steeda and MM plates. the steeda plates are a terrible design and the MM kicks ass! thats all there is to it.
i can usually get a .75* or so of adjustment with the steeda plates and the MM plates will get you around 1.25*

i did a cobra today with MM plates and i brought the camber from -1.7 on both sides to -.04 and still had room to go. you can NEVER do that with the steeda plates.

after you have actually done some alignments with both plates let me know what your choice would be.

BTW what year mustang is that pic from??

it does not look like a 94-04. it looks more like a fox body.

i will say that the steeda 4 bolt plates are ok. the 3 bolt ones are JUNK!
