Does anyone know any advantage the Max. Motorsports CC have over say hotpart.com's. There is an $80 difference in price and I'm trying to justify why.

You can get away with camber bolts if you are just trying to lower the car... Well also depends on how low.

Yea, he didnt state why he needed CC plates,
but I didnt challenge his thinking and told him
what he wanted to know, no more.
It looks like he is lowered on 18x8.5s from his SIG pic.
I would hope he did his research before laying
out $300+ for CC plates.
But then he does live in Rancho Cucamonga.
He has to be doing some mean track racing to
need the ability to mess with the Caster.
He is a third gear member with an X-Charger...
So I give him the knowing what he is doing.

I actually haven't bought anything yet. I don't take my car to the track. I just have alignment issue because the car is lowered. Since I'm driving it on a regular basis now I'm sure the wear issue will be accelerated.

I looked briefly at both MM and Hotpart sites and it appears that while the MM part is a true caster-camber plate, the Hotpart piece for the S197 is for camber adjustment only.

Another option is the Steeda HD upper strut mount, which has camber adjustability built in. ±1.75°, IIRC, which ought to be able to correct for any lowering that's compatible with street driving.

Whether you need caster adjustment on the S197 chassis is arguable - it's already at 7.1° (±0.75°).


Any of the above options are better than using crash bolts, especially on this chassis and particularly if you take corners and brake with a lot of . . . shall I say. . . "enthusiasm" (crash bolts, aka camber bolts, are for people who trust them more than they should).
