Default caster camber plates

hey all, so its finally getting warm around here and I'm getting ready to take the car out. So I lowered the car a few years ago and after getting new tires last year and trying to get an alignment i noticed the tires can't get perfectly straight. so my friend said i need the caster camber plates and bolts. I found the plates but how many of the camber caster bolts do i need? just 2? are their kits available instead of buying them separate? thanks all.

you normally only need bolts of your car has been lowered. usually the alignment shop will sell them to you.

You need caster camber plates, but not the bolts. These will work great.

Lol so i do and I don't? The shop I bring it to didn't have plates. I guess I'm just gonna get them. Have many bolts do I need for both sides?

you do know that the camber bolts go at the bottom of the struts on the spindles, right? They're completely different parts which do the same job as the cc-plates. Running cc-plates and camber bolts would be redundant redundant.

^^see what I did there?

Hey,

As mentioned before on this thread, you will just need one or the other. Most people will go with the caster camber plates because they generally provide more adjustability. You could go with either set up, but both will do you no good.

I personally like both the Maximum Motorsport and the J and M plates. Either one of them will provide great adjustability, and both are very reliable pieces.

I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions, feel free to get in touch. Good luck!

-Dan
