Which CC plates do I need to look at?

[Mach1Run]

So I finally got around to lowering the Mach a week or two ago with some Eibach Sportlines. At first i thought maybe it would be able to be aligned with the stock plates but after 2 weeks to get them settled its pretty obvious I need CC plates.

Question 1: Do I need 3 or 4 bolt plates or does it really matter? Kinda want to make sure its done right so I dont have to redo it.

Question 2: What brand is the best? I would hate to buy a set and find out it did not have enough adjustabilty for the Sportlines. They all pretty much look the same to me in the pics except for the finish.

mm is the best , get it.

 

[04fullitgt]

MM is awesome

 

[urban96]

another vote for MM. their not much more than others and are 100% worth it

stangsuspension.com has good deals on mm stuff

Gotta love the Steeda plates with no drilling necessary. They look real good too.

 

[AdRock]

Get the MM's. Worth every penny.

 

[blubullett]

I have the billet steedas. By far the best looking ones. http://www.steeda.com/products/steeda_aluminum_4_bolt_caster_cam.php

Steeda CC Plates FTW

I'd imagine Steeda or Maximum Motorsports would be the best. I have the MM plates and they are just fine.

Honestly, get your alignment checked first. I have my car dropped with BBK progressive springs, and I put Mach shocks and struts on the corners, and when I just went in the other day to get it aligned, everything was in factory spec. I was kinda surprised, but they didn't touch a thing.

I had Steeda plates and they started "clunking" after less than a year...got some crappy E-bay ones that are still going strong 4 years later...(but I'm lusting after some 4-bolt MM ones right now)

 

[EPIK]

MM hands down...They are the strongest & the best quality....The 4 bolt design is better because its spreads out the loud more throughout the shock tower, plus they are very easy for alignment techs to use....

Im sure Steeda's are good too, but MM is the way to go IMO....

Maximum Motorsports is the only option you should consider.

easy install, no better than stock plates

take it from the alignment techs on here. (me and BD) we actually do the work on your car. Steeda plates are CRAP!!! you dont get any more camber adjustment than the stock plates.

MM or nothing!!!

What about getting the camber bolts? Are they really needed?

[bdcardinal]

you can get teh camber bolts to move the strut to help with wheel clearance if you are running a coilover. but i would still use the c/c plate. just make sure that you have equal settings side to side with the bolts. btw thats what one of the MM techs suggested to me when i asked what i should do if i want to run a ton of camber.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but they made one hell of a difference on my car Castor isn't even adjustable on the cc plates from the factory

 

[98V6 K.I.T.T.]

MM are great, but to say Steeda's are horrible is probably not true. They use these plates on there production lines and I doubt if they were that bad they would not use them. No to affend anyone but, C/C plates are pretty much a crap shoot.

 

[SaleenGT2001]

if you had to work with the steeda plates you would see why i hate them.

MM gives you at least twice the adjustment ofthe steeda plates and camber and caster are adjusted independantly from each other

I have these as well with the sportline springs. They kick serious ass, and look sick as hell too. Deff. have enough adjustment for those springs.
