Steeda Billet Caster/Camber Plates for Fox Bodies
Steeda Billet Caster/Camber Plates for Fox Bodies.
Here are the plates I'm speaking of, bought from Lee/DSP: Pretty straightforward install, and well written out instructions. Sucks that I had to use a BFH to flatten the top of my strut tower out, though. The pieces themselves are flawlessly machined, and look much better than the stock pieces. Fit and finish is excellent, and the hardware is well matched and heavy duty. I had to grind a little on the bottom plate (the part with the studs). There was an unused portion of the plate that wasn't allowing the plate to fit totally flush in the strut tower itself (guessing they used the same bottom plate on other models as well). A couple of minutes with a grinder, and all was well. They also have 4 possible settings for strut engagement: Various rides heights, and various strut lengths. Positives: • Looks • Strength • Adjustability Negatives: • Slight clearancing required on bottom plate • BFH to the top of my strut tower (not C/C plate related) Overall, I give them two thumbs up.

Re: Steeda Billet Caster/Camber Plates for Fox Bodies
Yes i love mine to this date it's been year and half since mine were installed and i had the camber set to Steeda's specs for aggressive street. The old man who's done aligments for a long time said i wouldn't notice that setting one bit, but when i hit the road going straight the change was barely noticable till you turned then it was " Oh yea i love this". When making right turns you cut perfect 90's where everyone else lean an swing out for example, and going into curves the tires fall in and follow the line you set so bueatifully that you find yourself actually speeding up when heading into turns because any slower is beneath you and the car's ability.
Then i got Steeda's strut tower brace to keep them pulled together OH even better, i love a good handling car. My susp. mods are: H&R SS springs Steeda parts listed above HPM sub-frame connectors Steeda upper cntrl arms Energy Suspension poly-bushens runng stock struts an shocks for now maybe Blisten down the road |

Yeah, considering going to the agressive street setting on mine as well - no more miles than I drive, my tires will dry rot before they wear out...

Do you think that Lee @ DSP might want to sell me a set of those
sometime in the near future for my little project?
