Maybe I'm a fucking idiot but I can't figure out how I'm supposed to have both a caster/camber plate AND coilovers on the front. I had the car up for literally six hours, I've looked at every video i can find, even on non-mustang cars, and cannot find ONE clear explanation of how I'm supposed to make both fit. Everything is showing how to do with with a traditional strut and spring set up. Maybe I'm a fucking idiot who knows. I want to scream and cry, so I figured I'd post here pleading for help before I start wailing. Call me stupid, slow, whatever, I couldn't figure it out. Godspeed Coilovers and maximum motorsports caster/camber plate. Please help lol Pardon the language, been a rough day.

Are you going by the instructions included with the MM C/C plates? Definitely start with the c/c plate installs first. Really should be easy as long as you follow it step by step.

Thing to make sure of is the framerail clearance near the top of the coilover. There's not a lot there and sometimes you have to bend the metal out of the way of the top perch or the coils of the spring itself.

Hi! Yes, I got the first one on, I did not understand how to add the coilovers. There are no longer holes to put up the coilovers? That's why I feel like I'm dumb haha how the fuck do you put the coilovers in after the plates are in haha I feel so dumb and frustrated do I drill more holes? haha I am so confused

The Godspeed coilovers have caster/camber plates as part of the unit. You will not use another set of plates with the Godspeed coilovers. I am not sure if you could remove the Godspeed plate to run the coilovers on MM plates. You're not going to find a lot of resources for the Godspeed stuff as most folks here are running the tried and true stuff over the eBay brands.

That makes more sense.
