The cc plates help with the alignment. The factory plates have rivets that have to be drilled out to make a camber adjustment but caster is almost non existent. Way more alignment precision with caster camber plates. No need for coil overs or bump steer kits... unless lowering springs are being used.
What coilover kit did you have that was loud and didn't ride well? I've had three different brands and can't see how a factory spring is better in any way possible.
Many variables , most likely installer errorHonestly I’m not sure. I bought the car with them and didn’t own it long enough to really dig into it. They could’ve been poor quality or set up wrong. They clunked ever time I backed out of my driveway. And rode quite rough. In my application (Street) I prefer springs. Just my opinion based on experience.
Coil overs ride better, are way easiest to install, you can adjust ride height and spring rate changes are easy and cheap.
If you are talking about MM Control arms, be careful which set you pick, each is for a different wheel placement. If you ready all the descriptions they explain it pretty well.
Coilovers are only as good as the struts you use... if you have junk struts and put coilovers on them they'll be harsh or just as clapped out as they were prior to the coilovers.
If I were just building a car to cruise on the street in nice weather I would keep it as simple as possible. I would field the options of tubular control arms with spring perches vs replacement factory arms with bushings/ball joints already installed. See which one makes more sense cost wise. It maybe cheaper going the tubular a arm round which then you'll shave a few lbs off the car and look better to anybody that bothers to look under your car lol.
Spring wise just stick with the stock springs or a quality lowering spring. If you lower your car though, remember if you don't spend the money on the strut/shocks your going to suffer in ride quality section no matter what spring or coilover setup you open the purse for. Could you deal with lowering springs on clapped out struts/shocks of course, would your girl appreciate better struts and shocks? of course should would
Not saying you have to go right to top of the line but don't fall into that pit of
trying to save some on the struts\shocks by making the mistake of purchasing marginally better quality ones over factory.
There is no camber bolt with these cars, their are camber plates on your strut tower that are non adjustable from the factory. You shouldn't need caster camber plates like I mentioned in a prior post for a stockish suspension car. They come into play when alter the height and wheel base of the car a good bit or if the car is not striaght or true which happens but should really be corrected the right way.
