I don't know where you are looking, but there's tons of aftermarket CC plates for the 94-up Mustangs...

If you want a really nice CC setup, go to maximum motorsport's web site and check out the CC plates available for the 94-98's... I'm running these plates, as well as many other folks and they are excellent CC plates...

94-04 is what you are looking for. I spent $176 on MM CC plates (part#: MMCC9994) for my 94 2 years ago. I ordered them drop shipped through Sutton High Performance because it was cheaper than buying them straight from MM.

Possibly, but they are still junk.

Not worth messing with the stock units. Get yourself some Max Motorsports CC plates and go. Don't get another brand either, the quality you'll sacrifice by getting some cheapo BBK or MAC units is not worth it at all.

Fastgeek covered this for the most part. Key points: too forgiving, not adjustable, look like crap, can't support coil overs... they are just weak sauce. If you lower your car or want/have coil covers, CC plates are a must to do it right. I said do it right not just do it...

This is all if memory serves.

For one thing, stock plates don't have any caster adjustment. Period. They might have a small amount of camber; but chances are that will be negated by lowering the car. Also believe that they're not nearly as strong as a quality after-market unit is. Keep in mind that there's a LOT of force acting against these plates and I doubt Ford engineered them to tolerate the extra load/stress created by lowering the car, plus higher spring rates, etc.

Everyone has their own opinion, but the overwhelming one is that Maximum Motorsports has the best CC plates out there. A buddy of mine has (IIRC) Ground Control (or maybe Griggs?) aluminum CC plates on his '93 Cobra and keeps hoping that I'll trade him the MM's off my '88 for his before I sell it. Go figure. :p

Not to mention the huge, usually worn out rubber isolator that's in the stock plates.

I will say that aftermarket plates definately harshen up the ride quality a bit.

I didn't experience that at all and my car is a DD which sees 8-9k miles/year. I have Maximum Motorsports CC plates.

Yup, that's the ones I had as well. The rubber seperates the suspension from the body to eliminate some NVH, so anytime you swap rubber parts for solid parts you're going to get more NVH.

Now, alot of this is subject to individual preference. What passes as acceptable ride quality to you may not for others. For me, my car was just a little more harsh with the MM cc plates than the stock ones.

Once you get done replacing all the other rubber bushings with aluminum, delrin, or poly, like you should if you want the car to handle, you won't know where the noise is coming from anyways. That's the joy of having a car that handles.
I had the Steeda three bolt aluminum CC plates for years. I would have gonne MM if I did coil-overs becuase of the four bolts. How do the four bolt Steeda plates compare? They look pretty robust.

The Steeda 4-bolts are very strong.

The MM plates have a very slightly larger total adjustment range than the Steeda plates, but they have to be disassembled from the strut and reconfigured to go from one extreme side of the alignment range to the other extreme. The Steeda plates have the largest "single sweep" adjustment range without having to disconnect them from the struts and reconfigure them.

Both brands are far superior to every other plate I've seen.
