Default CCs and these...diff?

Hey what is the difference between CC plates and these "alignment adjusters" from Eibach off RPM outlet???

Adjusters

are CC plates worth the extra cost?....do these do the same thing?

if you have aftermarket springs and you need to get an alignment your going to need the CC plates if your alighment is off by a lot. If the numbers are off by a hair then they may be able to adjust it without anything extra but chances are if you have springs your going to need the CC plates from what Ive been told.

i have been told the same thing but if i can accomplish the same results with no negative effects....for only 30 bucks i'd be alot happier when i [finally] lower it this summer

yes i know this....but what i'm asking is....do these adjusters from Eibach accomplish the same task as CC plates? because they're only 30 bucks as opposed to 150-300 for CC plates. I plan to do a 1.5 inch drop.....not more than that

I just bought the Eibach Pro Plus kit and it got here today. I also got Eibach's alignment kit. It's being installed on Thursday, I'll let you know how it goes. I agree that if they can get the alignment right with just the $30 part why not use it.

Ok, I finally got this done today on my 99 GT. There was no problem using the Eibach alignment kit when getting my alignment done.

I am happy with the package I got overall. It is the one that includes Shocks, struts, springs and sway bars. I do feel like it's going to need a strut tower brace now with the sway bars. I can hear things flexing and popping in the dash if I make a tight right with some gas like when pulling away from a stop sign to make a right turn.

The sound seems to come from the plastic piece that goes around the windshield defogger. It actually popped out of place years ago before the suspension change. Now if I push it back down into place it will pop up when I do what I just described.

I love the way the car feels overall when driving it now though. It's the way a sports car should feel. It gives it a tighter more responsive feel without beating the crap out of you.

I wish that I had noticed the discount offered by Stangsuspension through this web site. I actually ordered from them and payed full price.
