Which CC plates are you guys using?

What are you guys using and would you change to something else

MM here. No reason for me to change to anything else.

MM here as well and I am very happy with them.

The ground control people. Which kit did you get? They told me the 2010+ kit has the upper spring mount. But the 05+ kit doesn't. Why can't I use the 2010 kit? Its the same price.

I have the MM kit as well with no complaints.

MM is the (only) way to go in my book

I discerned no noticeable increase in NVH with the installation of my Maximum Motorsports plates.

Well I installed my GC plates today and so far am not impressed. The damn plates specifically say 24 lbs so I set my torque wrench to 24 and go to tighten them up and pop! One stud pulls itself out of its bracket. At first I thought its weld had failed but upon further inspection it appears that they had ground down too much of the supporting material on the back side. Now I have to order a new part and redo the install on that side. My phone isn't cooperating with the forum so I'll post the damn pictures later. FML.

Their company name seems hilariously ironic right now.

Yeah I'm pretty upset about it. I guess the good thing is I've done the front install/uninstall quiet a few times now so I can get it done pretty quick when I get the replacement part in.

Damn brother, sorry to hear that happening. I'll give ground control a call and have them send you out a piece. I'll pay for it if they decide to charge. Also, can you email a pic of the specific piece that broke so I make sure they send the right one?

Thats wierd though, I've never had any issues installing these and I've installed quite a few. Again, just send me the pic of the part and I'll contact them tomorrow.

 

[Kenaizer]

Thanks man. I was just planning on calling them tomorrow to get a piece on the way. The plate is still on the car as I needed the car to get home from the shop so I can't take a picture but ill send you a picture I took of the one I hadn't installed showing where it broke.

thats pretty shitty man, Id personally head out to the local hardware store and buy the same size and type bolt they used (in a grade 8) and grind it down and have the local muffler shop (or who ever else) tack weld it, save you a lot of time

Yeah I was definitely not expecting it to happen, especially since I used the torque wrench. It looks like they ground quite a bit of the head of the bolt off on that particular piece from the looks of the bolt but I won't know for sure till I get it off when I go to put the replacement on.

Way to step up Jason
