FordRocks1 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I do notice some wear on my front two tires and have been told that I can go with camber adjusters instead of caster camber plates since I do not road race my car. Has anyone installed camber adjusters to realign their wheels? Also what is the difference between CC plates compared to camber adjuster kit besides price. I have found two sets of the camber adjusters one by UPR which are on sale for $40 and the Steeda one for $200. UPR is 6061 and Steeeda is 7075 billet aluminum- is there that much of a difference in these two metals for that price?

Camber adjustability will help your tires wear evenly, Caster improvement will make you happier with the way your car feels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewnagle1964 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Can you retain the strut tower bar after you install these? I would think so but don't know for sure since I have a Whipple I got no Strut tower brace anymore (ughhh) Take Care Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dans07SGT Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 It looks like it would still bolt up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHANE-O-MAN Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 All this brings up the question...if the plates are required when lowering the vehicle to keep the camber correct, shouldn't this be a warranty issue since the lowering was done by Shelby? They knew it was required when lowering the car, as evidenced by their recent email ads for the plates, but did not install them on our cars. I find this curious. Has anyone tried this route? Especially due to the fact that these oem tires ain't cheap and my tread is gone at 10,000 mi, 18 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that being said, it is a business and they can sell it all day long and did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby should, at the very least, provide warranty for the Camber bolts, installation, and re-alignment of the car. This issue should not have ever become an issue, as it should have been done at SAI from the beginning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6-Speed Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Can you retain the strut tower bar after you install these? No problem bolting up the brace. Unlike many of the other camber plates, the MM plates also allow caster adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really tell whether there's any handling improvement due to the plates on the street, but the lowering springs really help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
