Hello I was wondering if there would be conflicts if I installed Steeda camber plates,Eibach Pro-kit springs and Mach 1 Tokico Struts & Shocks. On a 1999 GT. Thinking about getting Bridgestone Potenza RE750 tires. Can someone let me know if this set up is recommended, or should i get other manufactores parts based on everyone's experiences. Thank you in advance.
I can't comment on the other stuff but I feel the need to ask "why the camber plates?"..... I just need to see if what I get from them is what everyone else gets....
All should work fine together. If you don't lower the car more than an inch in the front then the camber caster plates might not be necessary. I do have them on mine but lowered the front 1.25" in the front.
As to the spring/shock combo, they won't match very well.
The Eibach Pro-Kit springs utilize the following compression rates:
Coupe/GT: 460-570 200-250 Vert: 460-570 170-310
The Mach 1 OEM springs, for which the specially-matched Tokico's are designed for:
Coupe/GT: 600 linear 250 linear
The spring rates are vastly different; your Pro-Kit uses progressives, the Mach uses linears. Using the Mach struts/shocks with the Pro-Kit springs will give you an unduly harsh ride, IMO. Kidney belt recommended.
Most of the Pro-Kit's I've seen include matching shocks/struts. I would advise you to use matching shocks/struts if they are available to you.
The Potenza's are a great tire, however they're noisy at freeway speed.
You shouldn't need CC plates with Eibach Pro's. If needed, use a round metal file to slightly elongate the camber adjustment slots on the strut towers to dial in the proper alignment specs. You shouldn't need to take off more than
1/8" of material, and it will not weaken the assembly in any way. Highly recomended over installing CC plates.-JD

Like others say, no need for the camber plates. I used Steeds sport springs and there's no need for the caster camber plates. They are at maximum (or minimum?) camber right now, but that' works just fine. Remove NO-SPAM from email address when replying
