Default Caster Camber Plates

Hello mustang family

So if your on here alot, you know i have been pestering about suspension parts for a good few months now. I have been slowing buying stuff, and i planing on adding a lot in the spring when i am home from school.

I want to buy caster camber plates, any imput on prices and brands?

I have a black car, so i am going for black plates no chrome.

I hear MM is the best for suspension, these seem reasonably priced.

Any others that stand above the rest?

Or is a cc plate just a cc plate?

Peace

I had Steeda C/C plates and a few yrs later replaced them with MM C/C plates so I will say not all C/C plates are created equal. For the difference in C/C plates I'd go with the MM!

had those same plates installed TODAY. let me give you a quick review

Price: Great
Shipping from AM: Fast n Free
Looks: Clean, Really nice
Install: mechanic said it was pretty straight foward. Im not fond of installing suspension parts myself.
Ride Quality: Car had been lowered with steeda sports springs and now the ride is noticably better, bumpsteer feels almost gone, holds straight.

ONLY BAD PART. the driverside strut rod sticks out a BIT too high and rubs the underside of the hood. Could be my KYB shock, could be improper install, could be MM plates. Not sue

I am happy with them for the first day

I know it's to late; but you can reconfigure the spacer so that the top of the strut doesn't hit the hood.
That was emailed to me by MM is how I know.

I aligned my car myself without plates and there is limited movement. When I replace my work out rack and pinion I'll probably get these CC plates. I love the black look and have heard nothign but good things from MM. I am also running KYBs as well.

You guys running the AGXs or what?
