Default C&C plates

Well my mom has done it again. she's offered to help pay for some stuff on my car she's giving me some money towards my rims so now I will have an opportunity to buy other parts. my caster/camber plates.

I want to know which brand offers the best bang for the buck in terms of just bolt on and go (well go to a shop for an alignment).


I have eibach sportline springs now which means these plates are a must.

Can I put them on myself and 'eyeball' them good enough to get it to an aligment place?


Also since i now work at the ford dealer in my town I am going to ask what they'd charge me for an alignment, I figure i'll throw some business their way. They are 5 mins from home so a few minute drive with a weird alignment can't really hurt. And I know all the techs there and they do top notch work

I have the Steeda Aluminum 4 bolt ones. My friend who installed them for me said they are the nicest ones he has seen so far. He liked them so much he plans on getting them now. They are set to agressive street and i can take 90 degree turn at ridiculous speeds like 45-50. Simply put... They are Awesome.

My buddy drilled the hole w/ no problem. I believe they give you a template. It also helps to distribute the load evenly.

I do think the 4 bolt ones are better whether or not you get steeda is your decision. If you look them up they have a steel bearing which I believe is better. Not sure...

As far as alignment goes to get to the place it's not big deal. I just set mine to the middle on all settings. Seemed to work alright.

i've got maximum motorsports cc plates and since you work at a ford dealership and should get some form of employee discount have it done professionally
