Installing Cast & Camber Plates

Even though this isn't Steeda, I suggest reading this:

MM Caster / Camber plate installation

It's the how-to, what, and why to installing Maximum Motorsports plates, which are essentially the same thing.

I'm about to do the same work (different parts). After talking with MM techs, they say not to worry about the extra pieces. All you need are the plates, springs and struts/shocks.

I'm paraphrasing, but they said that you shouldn't need any of the other stuff on a street car, even after lowering it with my H&R SuperSports. Bump-steer shouldn't be a problem and you shouldn't have to worry about it unless it is really bad, for some reason, on your car. They actually recommended to me that I don't spend my money on these additional items that they sell.

Hope this helps.

I know the C/C plates adjust the Camber and Toe of the wheels.

The allow adjustment of your caster and camber, nothing to do with the toe. Not trying to bust your balls, but understanding what these do will really help you with the install process. Best of Luck!

I`m putting in my H&R`SS, MM C/C plates and Mach 1 shocks/struts this weekend. Let`s hope I can get out of my inclined driveway when I`m done . Does anyone have specs for a better alignment setting with the new C/C plates ? Thanks.

i did my c/c not long ago. The best info for specs is on Modular Depot forums. Do a search on the site.

Basically, for a conservative alignment you want .7-1 deg negative camber, maxed out positive caster, and .00625"(1/16") total toe in.

A more aggresive alignment is ~1.5 deg neg camber, max caster, and i'm not sure of toe in.
The people who did mine put .16" on each side, which i meant 1/16" total toe in, so im not sure if its a good thing.

The factory specs for the 98 are:
-1.35~.15 camber
2.45~3.95 caster
0~.12" toe in each tire.

Hope this helps. Double check these #'s with others, i could be wrong.

Yes...read page 4 of the pdf I posted. That'll give you a few recommendations and reasons why.
