I'm looking to do a tube k member a arms and coilovers, the brand is a Kenny brown with qa1 coil overs... My question is r all oil filter relocation kits equal? I know maximum motorsports has a 340$ one and on 3 has a 150$ one and summit and jeggs has some from 70 to 140 for universal kits that match the size and thread of the Fram ph2 or other 2 size filters. I don't want the cheapest one I can find uur also don't care about the name if that makes sense? 2nd can someone school me real quick on caster camber plates 3 bolt vs 4 bolts and brand? Once again mm has a 03-04 cobra kit for 209$ a 94 to 04 kit for 200$ r they different? U was under the impression the suspension in the front is universal on these cars? Stedda 3 bolt kits for 150$ can get the eBay special 4 bolt kit for just under a 100$ dose not look as beefy as the mm kit nut will it do the job? Thanks in advance help is appreciated

Can't really help you with the oil filter relocation kits, I've never used one. Personally, I'd go with a brand I trust that has a kit specific to these cars (like MM or MMR) and not some universal kit.

As for c/c plates, it's my understanding that 4-bolt versions are superior to 3-bolt ones. I'd go with MM or Steeda. I have the Steeda 4-bolt c/c plates on my 98GT, and they are great. Install was simple, and it was easy to get aligned. I need to change out some bolts though to stainless steel 'cos they are rusting out pretty bad. I'm about to install some MM c/c plates on my 03 Cobra, and the only difference between the 03-04 c/c plates and the other sn-95 kit they have is the 03-04 kit has Bilstein dust boots and no bump stops (Bilsteins have a built in bump stop), whereas the sn-95 kit does not have the strut dust boots but does include some bump stops. The plates are identical in both kits. You'll most likely want to install a 4-bolt c/c plate if you ar going to do coilovers.

Ok I wish I would have saw this sooner, I pulled the trigger on the mm 03-04 cobra kit because I was not sure and didn't want to find out the hard way, I'm putting in qa1 coil overs in so I guess the boot covers won't do me much good.... As far as the oil filter relocation kit gose I called the shop and they said there all a out the same so I went with on 3 since it was about half the price.... The k meber of choice was a Kenny brown and a arms... My question is since they move the wheel forward a Inch is it going to be a beat down to get some one to aglin it? I don't imagine that factory spec will do anymore?
