old man Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Which strut mounts would you recommend for a non track street car. The caster camber plates or the upgraded Gt 500 units? Also any problems with the caster camber plates with NHV? I am looking for the best upgrade for my GTH. Thanks Harley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Harley Are you getting even tire wear ? (you are rotating them right?) If yes - go with the GT500 units , if you are encountering uneven wear inside/outside then go with the adjustable caster/camber plates. In other words don't go with the c/c plates unless you need to be addressing tire wear (camber) and/or pull (caster spread) issues. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I replaced the tires about two years ago on the 07 GTH. The old ones were worn bad on the inside tread. They only lasted 25,000 miles. I have about 10,000 miles on the new ones but I am noticing some front inside passenger side wear. The car has 35,000 miles now. I have the Shelby plates but have not installed them yet. The question is do I use them or go with camber bolts and GT500 mounts when I get the front end specifications checked. My 06 GTH doesn't seem to have this problem and sits lower than the 07. Thanks for you input. Harley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I'd recommend that you use the camber/caster plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITHERTZ66 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Note, the adjustable plates are reported to make some extra noise. I used a camber bolt set and upgraded my LCAs to GT500 parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I think I will use the caster camber plates on my 07 GTH and the GT 500 parts (LCA and strut mounts) with camber bolts on the 06 GTH to see which I like better. I will know next spring. I am sure the little woman wouldn't like any extra noise on her 06. It is nice to do some winter mods. I got a good friday deal on my dyno tech drive shaft for the 07 and it went on easy and looks great. The 07 I mod and the 06 stays stock. Thanks for your input and help.

ITHERTZ66 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Don't those two cars have different stock suspensions? I don't think the convertibles received all the suspension mods that the coupes did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 From what I under stand the convertibles only got the lowering springs, even though the coupe still sits lower. The 07 has a front tire wear problem, and the 06 a front clunking noise, I hope to fix both this winter. Harley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
