I just finished up the install of my MM caster camber plates. Everything went smoothly and i have it "Roughly" aligned right now. (Framing square and a level) I have an appointment for wednesday to get the front end aligned but i wanted to double check on the specs. Maximum motorsports suggests about 3.0 degrees positive caster for high speed stability and 0.5 deg of negative camber. These numbers seem to make good sense to me....what is everyone else running on their lowered stangs?! thanks in advace!

Not meaning to threadjack but i am about to order these, how did the install go? good quality? and i also would like to know what everyone else is running

I would definately reccomend them. The quality is top notch and the kit is very complete it comes with everything you need and an awesome set of instructions. The first side took us about 1.5 hours b/c i had to change out the sway bar end links at the same time. The second side probly only took like 1 hour. Could have done everything faster im sure but we were taking our time...(and drinkin some beers). The hardest part was getting the dust boot over the bump stop. The alignment adjustment seems real easy to make. I used a 3 foot level and a framing square and aligned it pretty good for now so im sure they will be able to dial it in at the shop.

Anyone have their alignment specs with c/c plates?

There's no need to change from the stock settings unless you are going for a lot better handling. I have mine set up with -1.0 camber both sides for better contact patch around turns, and just a tad more positive caster. Toe is the same. Works good.

Exactly the same setting I have on my alignment.. Works great.

As per MM instructions for street cars and what i have heard elsewhere; Positive caster can be increased as much as possible. There effects of 1 degree change in caster is negligable so 3+ degrees is fine. Increased positive caster with increase the amount of negative camber on the outside wheel when turning hard. That is why positive caster is more desireable. Apparently -0.5 degree of toe (toe-in) is normal and desired for stability. Every adjustment to the toe will drastically effect the camber. So Camber should be adjusted last to about -0.5 degrees +/- 0.25 degrees. I dont want my tires to be wearing out any faster than they already do!? So i want to keep the camber in check, as too much neg. camber will really wear tires out quickly. Anyone else have any input? Road racers?
