why get the 4 bolt design CC Plates over the 3 bolt design if your not going to be using coil overs..I already bought some 3 bolt design and was wondering if it was worth it to take them back to order the 4 bolt design...


PS- I know MM Plates are the best, but if not them then what is another good plate...I bought FORD RACING CC Plates how are they ?

You're right people normally get the 4-bolt for coil overs- cause its necessary.
However, the 4-bolt are made to handle the stresses of pushing our cars...but i'm sure you never do that.
The three bolt design is fine if all you're after is adjustment and ease of installation (although drilling for fourth hole is not hard).


Pro3i and Steeda are both good brands other than MM.

Yeah they are fine, all the companies basically have the same design anyway.
