Almost Stock.... mind if I ask why in the hell you have your camber caster plates spaced so far off the shock tower??
I guess it would be because I followed the Maximum Motorsports installation instructions. Since they make this stuff I didn't figure I need to change change how it should be installed.



Have you got a better suggestionother than following themanufactures install instructions, since you're asking why in the hell I did what I did?

Hows about you lose the attitude...

no other camber caster plate manufacturer uses the 1/2" spacer between the plate and the shock tower that you have there... excuse ****ign me for never havbing installed MM plates before. My steeda were not like that.. my hotchkis are not like that... and the other plates I have seen and installed... are not like that.

I had the Steeda C/C plates before I bought the MM C/C plates a few yrs later and this is Steeda installation diagram for the Steeda C/C plates ............ if you notice the Steeda C/C plates also have a spacer!

Like it or not that's the way the maximum motorsports ones are.....and they work just fine ....mine have been in for a year and no problems.....although his are spaced quite low off the tower......I'd double check the alignment values mine are centered right on top hmmm just figured out why they may sit that low...look at the lock nut on the strut....it's not tightened down...probably a before picture ..before alignment was set up
