Caster camber plates! What are you using?

[Tatonka]

I am upgrading the springs/sway bars/caster camber plates on the latest acquisition. I wanted to check to see what everyone was using. On the other car I have the Shelby plates that came with the SE package. I am sure these are something rebranded and before going that route I wanted to see if there were any that are better. Thanks for the responses in advance.

Having done homework on this very topic, you really can’t go wrong. Maybe even some brand loyalty is just fine as well. They all basically do the same thing. Some have caster, some don’t. Vorshlag is the crem de la crem, but at a cost $$$. They also reportedly have some minor NVH issues due to the awesome design; another trade off of being awesome. Some may adjust a little further than others, but I think most time you’re limited by the top of the shock tower anyways. Really can’t go wrong. And I’ve never heard of one brand or another not being great. I’m going Steeda because they reuse the uppper part of the mount and therefore no NVH. I probably wouldn’t hesitate to grab a Ford pair if I found some.

I'm using Steeda plates for the NVH reasons, and I have BMR springs and sways (among other parts).

Vorshlag.

You get what you pay for. Vorshlag is very high quality. No noises, not clicks, pops, nothing. Originally I had the FP front springs. Then I went to the AJ Hartman coilover conversion kit on my car, and the Vorshlag plates still are fantastic. No noises, nothing.

I am sure the Factory Ford plates are great. If you are not hung up on OE parts, you can't go wrong with Vorshlag.

J&M @Hotpart.com plates. Do everything you need, do not change ride heights as some others, little to no NVH changes because you still use the factory components. They allow both Caster and Camber adjustments. Excellent value product that has been on the market since the S550 chassis has existed. Proven.

I have these, no NVH and I have no complaints.

I run Steeda plates on mine and have drilled out the strut mounting hole. Currently sitting at -3.2 degrees.

I am not hung up there. I do have FP springs and sways coming though. Is any modification required to use their plates?

No. You order for you specific set up. Go to vorshlags site, and it shows you a drop down, and there you pick your options based on the shock you're using. The camber plates fit perfect too.

One other thing. If you go max camber, your spindle out the top of the shock (sorry, don't know the technical name) will hit the strut tower. Steeda makes a drill bit to drill out the top so there is no more contact.

Interesting proposition. How do these differ from the Steeda ones?

I have some stuff sitting in the shopping cart and waiting for the 20th

I installed the Steeda front plates and their rear camber arms and tow links. I’ve performed a couple of 4-wheel alignments (changed aftermarket springs twice) and adjustments were simple and effective. No clunks or NVH to date.

Alternatively, I used Steeda's camber bolts in conjunction with their plates and didn't drill out the tower. I typically run -3.2* camber this way.
