CC plates

dinomite · 05-09-2001, 03:36 PM

I used the FMS-b springs on my car, and got the car aligned and its all good. What i was wondering, is there any advantage to haveing CC plates if the stock setup adjusts the wheels fine?

For street driven use not much, for the track they are just invaluable.

Even if your camber is fine without them, being able to add a little positive caster with plates helps the handling a lot.

Get some Maximum Motorsport ones.
(Dont go for pretty machined aluminum, or chrome ones).
Setting max caster is a fine idea. Not sure you will really notice any seat-o-pants handling, but its your money.

I noticed a REAL nice improvement over stock. The free articulation is nice (so your not stressing the strut tower every time you turn the wheel), and the added caster gives you a nicer feel too!
