Cater Camber Plates For Lowered Fox ?'s

nickpic · May 1, 2016

I have a 92 LX 5.0 that is lowered. I think they are the Eibach springs and kyb struts/shocks. The car needs some CC plates badly. I did some searching and see lots of old post saying the Maximum Motorsports CC plates are the best. Are the MM plates still the best or has someone came out with something better or the same for less money?

Also other than rolling the fenders is there anything else I can do to reduce rubbing the 245/45/17's I got up front?

While I'm in there anything g else worth replacing?

Hmm interesting. Mine rub and I have a lot of negative camber. The struts look newer but maybe they are shot

The insides of my front tires are wearing very fast.

Yeah it seems like no 2 are the same lol. Not sure if it rubs the control arms but I think it does. Only had the car for a couple weeks and haven't had the time to really go over everything yet. Been taking care of the obvious issues as they pop up and little by little gathering parts to add some power. Replaced the ignition switch last week, for tire of smacking the steering column so my blinkers work lol. Also looked dumb when I power shifted 2nd leaving work but hit a bump at the same time and the car shut off. Talk about embarrassing lol

O yeah these cars are way easier to work on than anything new, especially compared to my powerstroke.

MM are the best. for your tire rubbing get some rack limiters.

Thanks. Yeah I forgot to mention I'll be getting them too. Just wondering that when I correct my camber and the top of the tire sits out further if I will have more issues. I am not sure what the offset of my wheels are either. They are a 4 lug Saleen replica but I can't find them on line anywhere.

I have had Hotchkis CC plates for 20 years. Best on the market IMO. You will probably have to do a bumpsteer kit also. I have the Steeda.

I unintentionally did a bit of a CC plate comparison. I had decided on MM based on forum recommendations. I found some used locally, only they weren't MM. Then I bought a set of MM plates off ebay, only they weren't MM. Finally I just bought a set of MM. I think I compared some generic plates, steeda plates, and finally got the MM. Go MM, the combination of clear quality and support wins. I think their design with spacers and bump stops wins also.

235/40/18 using MM caster camber plates, work great

Shakerhood · Jul 3, 2016

I used MMs on my car, been on there for years and never any issues.

nickpic · Jul 4, 2016

I went with MM and love them. Definitely a quality peice

Not all CC plates create the extra bump travel required for lowered cars. MM's do. Your inner edge wear is NOT a camber problem. Camber is concentrating the wear that's caused by a toe problem, which is caused by an incorrect toe setting, or, more likely, worn inner tie rod ends, or compliance in the A-arm bushings that allow the wheels to toe out when the car is underway.

Those wheels look great. Are you running spacers up front? Sn95 length axles out back?
