do I need Caster Camber Plates?

[Bundmar]

I had my car out today and noticed the passenger front wheel is bent outwards from the bottom, will caster camber plates fix this cuzz my tire will wear quickly.
my cars been lowered 2.5" from the front

I did get an alignment but it only help a bit

 

[stimmler]

yes, it fixed mine.
I have the maximum motorsports caster camber plates and they are well worth it. I dropped mine 2 1/2 inches and was unable to compensate with the stock plates. But the mm cc plates have a whole lot more adjustability.

CC plates for anything over 1.5" drop

 

[slvrbullIT]

yeah you definately need them with a 2.5" drop. my tires used to lean alot and now they are back to normal.

Definitely get you some CC plates if you have a 2.5" drop, so your tires won't wear out prematurely.

CC plates for anything over 1.5" drop

so if i get steeda spring (1"-1.25") Then I will absolutey positively do not need c/c plates correct?

What about spring isolaters? Will that make the car sit higher? or lower than stock ones?

Most likely higher if your stock ones are worn. My urethane isolators added almost 1/4" back to my ride height.

im going with the steeda springs also and im wondering if i need them ???

 

[PEWTERPONY]

No, they guy that works on my stang installs steedas and he never puts cc plates on them. He said they're not needed. Fact, I'm taking my CC plates off my car. I'm dropped 1.5" with prokit springs and my plates are clunking....least i think its the plates

NO ! Helps.
U can buy the bolts to adjust the camber, CC plates are noisy on a street car.

I am planing on use the bolts on my 2002 GT this weekend.

Napa sells them for $23 a side, called eccentric bolts.


Here is a picture of them on the H&R site:

[CottonBurnerz]

That's news to me... mine aren't noisy one bit.

 

[slvrbullIT]

i got maximum motorsports c/c plates and they are quiet unless i go over a huge bump but they still dont make a clunking noise.

 

[YardSpecial]

U can feel more road noise.

Cheaper CC plates knock, clunk.

I have been useing these bolts for years, so U really don't need the plates.

I don't have $200 for plates, so I used the bolts.

All up to the customer.

 

[stimmler]

As with everything else, cheap parts are crap. I have maximum motorsports cc plates and have never heard any sounds from them. On the other hand the cheap ones like bbk, mac and the old steeda plates had cheap plastic bushings that wore out and sounded crappy.

Holy crap - I had no idea these things even existed...

Could you post your results on how these worked on your '02? Much appreciated!

 

[YardSpecial]

Like I said, this is common practice at some auto shops or some alongate the strut holes !!

I have them in my 89 Stang and LOVE them.

2.5" at the point to where you need them. I've had mine on since the first day I lowered my car, so I couldn't tell you if I noticed a difference.
