Default 2004 GT Conv Strut, C/C Plates & SubFr Conn

I have a 2004 GT Convertible. I want to install a Strut Brace, Camber/Caster Plates, and Sub Frame Connectors. I've seen recommendations for Maximum Motorsport Brand, Steeda, etc. I want to install all three and am looking for best quality more than price. Powder coated was recommended as the most durable. I know there are many post about these but did see anything that specifically discusses the best strut and plate combination.


Thanks,


Steve

They all basically do the same thing and the differences between the top brands are minor.
Either Steeda or MM would be the best bet.
Make certain to get the full length subframes and also make certain they get welded in and installed while your car is resting on it;s wheels, not up on a rack with the wheels hanging down.
Powder coated is nice, but you can just spray them black with some Rustoleum etc when they are installed and save a few $$.
The installer is going to have to grind off the powder coating at the weld points anyway.
As for strut braces, both Steeda and MM are good quality.

Can't help ya with CC plates but again Steeda and MM are popular.

I know.
They are very small compared to aftermarket MM or Steeda.
