I've had them for a while now, probably have over 10k miles on them. So far so good. No problems and the car performs fine.

Yep. Ford Racing springs. They're not real agressive springs, but it's not stock. I'd like it to be slightly lower, but it is what it is. I have 18's so larger wheels would be a nice upgrade in the future. I've had it aligned and the ride isn't too rough with stock struts/shocks.

Here's a pic...

Good luck and have fun at the track! Others may chime in and recommend the MM plates. They are a bit more expensive and may be better suited for track use. I really can't speak to that myself.

Are these needed if you replace the strut mounts to say, some GT500 strut mounts or can you just use one or other? I'm lost on that

Adjustable camber/caster plates replace the OEM strut mounts (whether they be GT500 or standard GT).
