I thought it would be useful for people to post their setups and suspension settings. I didn't really see anything when I searched. I figured it would be interesting to see what everyone is doing for conversation and to help each other out. Such as... Tires Tire size front and rear Tire pressure front and rear Suspension parts used Caster camber plate brand/model Alignment settings Brake pads

I am sure about the caster, the toe changes every event as I never actually check it. And that was toe out, my bad. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
Actually looking back at my last book entry, 1/4" out. I haven't set that since I was autocrossing over a year ago.
My tires are 275/40/17's front & 315/35/17's rear Sumitomo HTRZ III's front & HTRZ rears About 32 psi rear & 36 psi front for the pressures For my suspension I have the full Eibach ProKit Plus on right now including the front & rear swaybars...but just recently changed to Koni SA Yellows in the rear & still saving up for the struts... Then I have full length MM Subframes welded in, MM rear adjustable LCA's, Steeda 3 bolt CC plates, Bullitt Front brakes & Cobra rear brakes with Baer drilled & Slotted Decelarotors & Hawk HPS pads with Russell SS brake lines front & rear. I added the Cobra Master Cylinder too...love my brakes! I have a Hurst Line Lock installed & have a lot of fun with that! Easy install too. Inside I have a Steeda TriAx shifter, Steeda Clutch Quadrant, & MM firewall adjuster & Clutch Cable (which is OEM Ford) and a Raptor Shift light center mounted on my steering column. Exhaust wise I am running a MagnaPack Catback, with a BBK offroad Hpipe (Boy is that LOUD! Love it...) Intake is stock with a K&N drop in filter but I have a BBK CAI being installed right now. Plus a 95 Cobra intake waiting to get TMoss ported & then Powdercoated. I had Ford Racing 3:55 gears installed a year or so ago & they really woke my car up! Shoulda done it long ago! An Ecam on the shelf waiting to be installed, I don't want anything too radical & hard to tune for my 94 OBD I... Looks wise I have a Roush SN95 Bodykit mostly installed with the side exhaust & rear fascia part to go yet. I have the dual 10" Blue Stripes going up & over & the side stripes on the sides...I put 350R on the sides to resemble the Roush 360R series I am following after but wanted to not try & fool anyone that it is real Roush. Same reason I used the wrong year Roush badges & front banner! Any Roush fan will know it is not a factory Roush. I even have a Roush Stage 3 number that is so hard to get...that I jokingly used to threaten to put on just to rile up the old Fnsweet gang of Roush enthusiasts! Started a lot of lively discussions.. Guess that is about it..for now.
