Here’s what I can see. (I need to get my ramps out of the shed to get my jack under the car)

Yeah I got that vibe. Unfortunately I’m new to the area where I live and don’t know of any good shops to go to yet. I’ve been trying to find a good place to go but haven’t really had any luck yet.No offense but unfortunately alot of ford techs arent that good especially if its in the tire and lube shop. You really want an alignment pro to look at it and go from there.

Yes is was in ford spec. It was slightly neg.Yeah I got that vibe. Unfortunately I’m new to the area where I live and don’t know of any good shops to go to yet. I’ve been trying to find a good place to go but haven’t really had any luck yet.
When you had your car aligned without the Cc Plates, was your camber within oem Spec?
I would recommend getting new bilstein on all 4 corners. Im pretty sure the monroe are not doing well with the eibach springs.Update: I found out they are Monroe brand struts.
I may end up buying new/used Bilsteins for the sale up maybe avoiding that clunking noise that I hear so much about when you install these cc plates.
Ok, I’ll try to get OEM style Bilstein struts then. The back has the Bilstein shocks. So if I were to buy the new Bilsteins, they would have the built in bump stops and dust cover/shield. Apparently the front have just been changed.I would recommend getting new bilstein on all 4 corners. Im pretty sure the monroe are not doing well with the eibach springs.
Thanks for the advice, I’ll make sure to do that.Use the alignment specs that come withthe MM CC plates. Make sure they do the rear, and I used the Ford specs on that.
Get rid of the junk Monroe struts (and shocks), go back to Bilstein. You want the dampers matched to the springs. Read this stuff as well:
Suspension
Chassis & Steering
If you are in NE OH, go to Xtreme Performance in N. Ridgeville - they have a laser rack and know how to do alignments to the customer spec, not generic Ford.

Why wouldn’t the Monroe struts and Eibach springs work well together?
As far as CC plates go for the 94-04 mustangs. MM has made the best ones and would not look for a cheaper option. Also if you have never installed aftermarket CC plates i would highly recommend having a professional install that has experience with installing them. When they are not installed correctly they will make all kinds of nosie.This is probably a dumb question at this point, but has anyone used/know about BBK Caster camber plates?
BBK Mustang Caster Camber Plates 2527 (94-04 All)
Are these any good? Seems like these have a bushing that could prevent that clunking noise.
Also want to make sure that these are good quality and won’t ever allow my struts to go through my strut tower as I’ve heard some horror stories about.

If the front stuts where changed its more than likely the stock bilstein were worn out. The rears need to be changed too. You want your suspension to be working well at all 4 corners. New bilstein wont be cheap but there will be a night and day difference in the way the car will handle.
As for the monroe they are a just a cheap replacement strut and shock. There were never made for lowering springs.
Id say if you have a v6/gt with stock springs the monroe would have worked fine.
The BBK ones aren’t cheaper, they’re actually more expensive in terms of price at least. They seem to have a bushing built in to quiet things down. Supposedly one of my friends had these on his GT and he said they were great.
And I will likely have to have someone who know what they are doing either help me or do it for me because I have not done this before.
Bbk in terms of quality compared to MM is not at the same level. I personally do not have experience with the BBK CC so i cant say anything good or bad. as far as quality over all as a brand MM makes much better product. Ive used BBK in the past on my fox 5.0. They were in the best bang for your buck at the time for alot of things. But for somethings ive used some of BBk on my 03 cobra and was not impressed with quality.
Do some more research on different CC plates and see what the pros and cons are of different brands.
Installed the MM plates on my 03 after lowering it along with MM bump steer kit myself, took it to a shop for alignment never looked back. Did my research MM all the way.

I've installed a few sets of MM plates on different cars. Take your time and follow the instructions. I've never had an issue with clunks or extra noises.So have you haven’t had any issues with clunking noises or anything like that?
How was the installation of the plates?
