Ford Racing CC Plates

Thanks again guys :SNSign:

instead of the lakewood 70/30's and 50/50's i would go with strange 10 way adjustable struts and shocks. then you can tune car for track duty and stiffen it up for street duty with a turn of a knob.

Forget those FMS uppers and buy a real upper. Get a double adjustable upper arm like wolfe, upr with sperical on both ends. You can set the pinion angle too. The FMS uppers are nothing more than a stock arm with a slightly stiffer bushing on the chassis side.

Reinforce your torque boxes too.

with the mods that I want to do above do I even need new CC Plates or will the stock ones be fine?.....I'm assuming the Drag launch springs dont really lower the car.

stock will work. I agree with getting adjustable upper control arms. This again allows you to do more tuning to the car for track duty.
