    C/C plates help to align..But lowering shocks will be your next step. Then get a hugh-Azz front sway-bar.

    contact www.strictly-motorsports.com Tell Mario that Matt with the red roush sent you by.

    you will need the cc plates right away so u can properly align the car, shock and struts will go out in a couple of months,(what brand dampeners do cobras use?)

    There isn't squat for factory alignment. when you lower the car, the natural arc of the lame ass modified macpherson strut suspension will give the car too much negative camber. Typically it's more negative camber than factory adjustment range can get out. You don't "need" plates to correct this problem, you can use the camber adjusting strut bolts instead. $30/pair, one pair required. search at Steeda's website, but just about anyplace that does front end alignments will have them also.

    The plates will do more than just add adjustment range. They also move the top of the strut higher up, this restores some of the original factory travel and helps avert bottoming out the suspension. They are a smart investment.

    well just remember that the lower to the ground you are when you lower the car, the more you are going to feel every bump and hole....SOOO if your g/f hates the bumpy ride BEFORE you lower it...she is going to hate you after but doesn't your cobra come with bilstein shocks/struts?
