[QUOTE="Conechaser, post: 430751, member: 10090"] I thought I would check back to this thread to report on how things are going on my car after a few events since it's alignment. I had them measure the specs when the camber was set to maximum in either direction so I know my range of adjustments. "street setting" at least neg. camber (strut tops out toward the fenders) -1.7 degrees camber +5.0 degrees caster 1/8th toe in "AutoX setting" at most neg. camber (strut tops in toward the engine) -3.0 degrees camber +5.0 degrees caster 1/8 toe out. For AutoX, the car is pretty neutral, turns in well, and I think I'm really getting a handle on this heavy pig (compared to my 2300lb Civic) I also really like my Dunlop Direzza Z1 tires! At the track, I've only had one opportunity to run there so far. I may have too much camber for the track but I was not able to take meaningful tire temps. (wet track with big puddles in pit entrance then the starter broke before it dried out) Again, the car went where I wanted it to go without any drama (other than the uber slick turn 9-10 area) Next track day I'll really try to get the tire temps done and tweak the camber accordingly. I most likely will be running much less camber like you are... probably not much off my "street" setting I missed this post before: [img]http://www.miracerros.com/mustang/t_cam_bolt.jpg[/img] Yah, it'll be close to where it was... but I sure would do an alignment after changing struts.
