On my 07 Gt wouldn't it be possible to notch the 4 mounting holes for the strut in the strut tower for a slight camber adjustment? After looking at it i think it could be possible. Someone correct me on this if i am wrong.

Absolutely, so here is the question, should I go with J&M CC Plates or MM CC Plates?

I'm wondering the same thing. I took my car in for an alignment a couple weeks ago because of tire wear and they couldn't get enough camber. (FRPP springs)

I'm considering the CC plates from MM and J&M, and also steeda camber adjusters.

The latter are cheaper but only adjust camber. But I'm guessing that's all I need. So if anyone has any experience with those chime in.

Also, are the J&M direct bolt on? I know the MM and steeda are.

Do any of you have camber bolts? My FR-3 Handling pack came with one for each side and the camber is fine. NEVER notch your strut towers.

MM is the only one that adjusts both caster and camber. J&M only adjusts camber, & they are a direct replacement for the upper strut mount.

I have the MM ones, and yes, they adjust both caster and camber. Although I will tell you the MM caster adjustment is really a one time set it and leave it alone deal. It does not adjust much and I was told by Maximum Motorsports tech that it's pretty much only there to fix any difference that may have existed from the factory. i.e. you won't get a lot of adjustment out of it at all.

Hope this helps.
