caster and camber plates for 2+ inch drop
I have dropped my 95GT about 1.25" and plan on another inch or so.
I have some C&C plates on it now, but I bought them "from a guy" and I think I can do better. After the drop that Acer and I put on it, even with these C&C plates on it I have just a slight negative camber and I think I'm completely adjusted out. If I go down another inch, I'll be super negative. I've seen that and it just looks funny.
I've also seen Stangs just set DOWN and the tires look right from a camber standpoint, and they look EXTREMELY good.
Since I am going to end up with 2-plus inches of drop, what C&C plates would you fine gentlemen recommend?

I know we have some stangs in the weeds!! C'mon, bouys & girdles!
Maybe not 2" only - no need to be a drop-snob...I'll open it up to the 1's and 1.5ers!
What's it taking these days to keep your front tires from looking like an isosceles triangle?

i'm also looking into some CC plates, so far i've been interesting in geting the MM ones... but i'm open to a cheaper alternative if anybody has any suggestions.

I'm thinking SOMEbody's got to have some nollij on this. The reason I didn't post this in the Suspension section is cuz you 5.0 boys are the best tech group on the board.
Show gp some love, baby! gimme da TECH!!!

Yeah, I went through this whole gig too. I ended up getting the BBK caster camber plates because they were one of the few that could take anywhere from a half inch to 4 inch drop. 4inches would be sparking on my Stang, LOL. BUT, the other cool thing is the adjustment, because you can readjust for road racing, auto cross and other needs. The only bummer is, I got them so I'd have all of these options, but my Stang pretty much sits in the garage, LOL. So with that said, I'd go with the Mac plates, because they're only around 150 bux and I paid like 225 bux for my BBK's. V6mustangstuff.com has several to pick from, that's where I got mine.

Thanks for stopping in, Booze.
What I had was a Eibach Drag Launch that just stood the front end up - I probably had 4" of distance between the top of the tire and the fender. Not good in the looks department, IMHO. I know it's designed to be that way to pre-load the rearend, but since I don't competitively race, Acer and I took a half a coil out and eliminated the isolators and it dropped the nose about 1.5" so that I have about 3-3.5" gap now. I have some cheapey C&C plates now, but I still have a slight negative camber and it looks like to me like I have my C&C plates fully adjusted - they won't go any further out. IF we take another 1/2 to 3/4 coil out (likely) which would give me about 1-1.5" fender-to-tire gap, then I think I'm going to need some better C&C plates to get the camber right. I don't to wear the inside of my tires down to the cords with ***** still on the outside!!
I've seen some set down tight like that and have the camber straight up factory-looking, so if I go lower I want to avoid that leaning tire look. Any thoughts on the right path other than get the MAC plates anyone?
Billet vs. steel?
Shortfalls to avoid?
