Default 3 bolt vs 4 bolt Cc plates

What kind of caster camber plates are better 3 or 4 bolt, and what is the main difference. Also what are some good brands to look out for when buying. Are upr 3 bolt good, or would you sugest going for a 4 bolt style like maxium motorsports, mac, etc

Steeda's or MM's 4-bolt plates are the best way to go...

Here's a nice shot of an eBay el-cheapo plate that lasted 18k miles or so;

from what i understand most say 3 bolts will do fine with the stock spring set up and the 4 bolts are recommended for a coil over set up because of the increased load on the strut perch.

I got 4 bolt MM and the alignment shop never has spec problems with my suspension setup. My buddy bought some cheapo 3 bolts off ebay and they couldnt do crap with them. They haad the struts at either extremes and the car was still way out of spec
