Oh, and you're coming to Savi on Sunday, right? Let's do a big savi meet this week. |
The caster/camber plates allow for a greater range of camber adjustment as well as giving you the ability to adjust caster. The C/C Plate also gives you more up travel.
For more lets grap some verbage from our friends over at Maximum Motorsports...
Whether your Mustang is driven on the street, or pushed to the limit on a racetrack, a proper alignment is an essential part of suspension tuning and performance. Caster, camber and toe settings are the three most important settings that need to be adjusted when aligning your Mustang. A good front-end alignment provides greater cornering and straight line stability, better steering response, increased front tire grip, and longer tire life. There are no drawbacks to having the proper alignment! The Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber Plates are engineered to provide the widest range of alignment settings possible. This ensures that a proper alignment can be achieved for any type of casual or performance driving.
Lowered Mustangs
When a Mustang is lowered it loses available suspension travel and may bottom-out the suspension frequently. The lower ride height results in excessive negative camber, which often causes uneven tire wear. The Maximum Motorsports (MM) Caster/Camber Plates have the adjustment capability to allow an alignment to correct any excessive negative camber caused by lowering. The MM Caster/Camber Plates will also allow regaining lost suspension travel, which will improve both performance and ride comfort.
