MM Camber Plates...

May 19, 2005, 11:30:30 AM

I just ordered some Maximum Motorsport camber plates and thier strut tower brace. Have any of you guy got these on your car? If so, what alignment specs are you running for camber and caster? I'll probably start with MM's recomendations and play around with them from there if I dont hear any other advice here.

I finally broke down and got the plates because when I did my 11" brake conversion I lost most of the negative camber that I gained when I lowered the front end. I used turbocoupe spindles on the sport A arms and that changed the suspension geometry. I guess the Sport and TC arms must be different lengths. Anyway, after my alignment I found that my camber and caster varied greatly from side to side and figured it was about time to add some adjustability into the picture and get rid of that slight understeer that I now have. (again!)

I just used the recomended specs also. I needed them to correct my camber problem and they worked great. Install easy and the alignment shop(which is an old guy about 75yrs old and typically hates caster/camber plates) had no problems aligning the car.

The passenger side didn't make it... I'm in the process of modding my brace to fit. I cut the brace at the corner and I'm going to bend the one bar out of the way and have it welded... Funny you said that I'm going out to my car right now and getting the brace so the welder here in the hospital can do it for me... I'll have pics tonight :)

I just called this guy, and he'll give a discount on the Tbird plates for those that are willing to order. I'm in CA and would have to pay sales tax, but for those that aren't, you're looking at about $180 shipped.
