Not to get off subject, but are all c/c plates adjustable... Cus when i took mine for an alignment just recently, he said he couldn't get it aligned perfectly. I told him about the plates and he said they weren't adjustable....

yea i thought they were adj, i could see right on them how u can adj them. when he came to me and said he couldnt get it perfect, i was like he probably didnt even look at the c/c plates, thats when i was like did u adj the c/c plates and he said they werent adjustable. i was like are u sure cus they're supposed to be and he said no. it was the first time i went there but i'll never go back again.

town fair tire only does "toe-and-goes" meaing they wont even pop ur to hood to check if u got c/c plates.

they just simply adjust toe to spec and they're done.

where did you go?

if you ask, they will adjust it...

but the majority of the cars that roll though do not have such adjustments

This is a great thread because not all plates are created equal. Good to hear which ones are working out. I saw on another forum a 94 or newer. The strut damaged his hood when the bearing failed. Don't remember which brand that was.

What are you guys setting your front ends to.

Camber, caster and toe.
