installing C&C plates
I'm gonna be getting some C&C plates for my car soon, and have found ebay to have a bunch of new/lightly used ones for cheap.
What is all to do when I install them? If I jack the front end up by the frame and let the wheels hang, do I just un bolt the top of the strut and swap the stock plates for the aftermarket ones??? Just wondering what I will need to do!
Thanks
George

RE: installing C&C plates
okay I'll do what I can when I get them. I was really dissapointed in my last writeup attempt. O well stupid valvetrain
but do the brake parts really have to come off? I don't think they should get in the way??

coolness, I won't be doin mine for some time unfortunately. Right now I am gonna be getting my wheels... then ordering the tires, then probably having the dealer I work at mount/balance them, and I'll probably put them on myself at home, and then at home I will do the C&C plates and get them eyeballed to my best ability and possibly have it aligned at my dealer too.
Supposedly I get discounts on everything there now since i work there
