What do yours look like? I have a set too and they dont fit me coupe either. Not only that but the powdercoating is flacking off them. They look like crap.

Some chassis fabricators do that for more angle at the track. I believe you dont have to cut the towers for them to work.

Ive got the aje caster camber plates too. I didnt care a whole lot for coming underneath the car but have heard thats better for drag racing. I also had to do some grinding for the strut bolts too. Post pics so I can make sure I got mine right. I was confused and the directions where terrible.

Well After playing phone tag with AJE Racing. They told me that i have to make them fit by drilling new bolt holes. they told me to center the caster camber plate and drill new holes. because ford made two different bolt patterns. looks like i might be going to get new caster camber plates from Team Z.

I opened up the bolt holes and opened up the strut tower bolt hole. here is a before and after of the passenger side. I still have to do the driver side. then repaint the tops of the tower's o yeah and to get the drivers side plate to work. I had to grind on the caster camber plate a lil bit. i will get some pics of that when i get home from work tomorrow
