How come they are so much cheaper than other brands? You can get a billet set for around $110 delivered. I thought MAC makes some nice stuff (ex. Prochamber, etc). Anyone with experience with these? Any other thoughts on getting some more front camber adjustment?

I have the Maximum Motorsports one and they are a quality piece. I personally wouldn't skimp on suspension parts but I haven't had any experience with the Mac plates.

Maximum all the way. everyone else tries to copy them and dont get it right. be sure to not get anything from Pro3i. when i talked to the guys from Maximum they told me a lot about that company and all the shady things about them.

Shady things at Pro3i? You mean the owner and company that runs the very site you are on right now?

We have sold 100s of our caster camber plates. They are a nice piece. Have run them on our own street cars and road race cars...

Be careful what you let salesmen on the phone put in your ear.

point taken. wasnt a salesman on the phone, was the owner of MM in person at a open track day.

either way, just we wary of what you buy and research any purchase in multiple areas.

in reading about MAC, they dont use a spherical bearing, which may cause binding.

Why is it you have a third plate? Or is that just a reflection? If so.... wow...!

Here's mine.



In regards to MAC. I bought a MAC TB and it was crap.

They are completely different. I do not see how MM can slander a company when the products are not even close to the same. I just can’t see the similarities between the two plates.

I don't want to get in the middle of "he said, she said" but I can tell you that when I ordered my H&R Springs from MM they sent me the wrong ones telling me they were the right ones but when I questioned them with my friend that is a manager at H&R in Washington (state) it turned out they were listing them wrong. They quickly changed their listing and quit talking to me about it. I got a refund and bought them elsewhere.

But, I still like my C/C plates from them. They are not as professional as they try to make you think they are.

I wouldn't go with Mac CC plates....you get what you pay for

MM gets most of the props understandably

I went with the Steeda 4 bolt piece.....IMO it's high quality too....my front susp is dialed in perfect....they make no noise whatsoever....and it's a nice looking piece to boot
