Camber Caster Plates


I have been thinking of putting on some Camber Caster plates on my 96 GT. First, I am wondering if i really need something like this. Second what is the cheapest price wise brand, and how hard will they be for me to install my self. From what i can tell they are pretty easy but the only thing is droping the control arm enough but not allowing the spring to jump out. Any advise will be appreciated.

you don't need caster & camber plates unless you're lowering the car by installing shorter springs. my car is only lowered 3/4 inch, so right now i can get away with just an alignment. but, i am planning on throwing the eibach prokit on my car. if you do plan on lowering the car, i suggest cc plates and a bumpsteer kit. i'm looking at a steeda one myself. hope this helps.

in that case, then yes cc plates are necessary. like i said earlier, i also recommend a good bumpsteer kit. my car's not lowered much (yet) but i do occasionally experience some bumpsteer issues.

Yeah I had the choice of buying a different set of bushings today, which would reduce bumpsteer a lot but i passed, because I want to see how it drives with just new shocks, struts, and the camber caster plate. Which by the way I just install all of that today! Going into Big-O-Tires on monday to get it aligned and some new rubber. I got the MAC Camber Caster Plates and they look great, and were a breeze to install.
