Thanks. I'm on the GT350R fronts so it lowered only ~0.7", and my rough guess is I've got about 1.5-1.7 deg in the front. Not sure what they'll be able to do without plates or bolts, if anything.

The Steeda Linear Sports lower just under an inch according to the spring rates & drops sticky. Seems about right. A little surprised how much travel it took to get those alignment numbers. I centered the struts by eye and you can see my starting point.

huh, interesting.

If I can get them to within 1 tenth of a degree of each other and under -1.6, I'll be happy with that. The increase in front-end grip from a proper amount of camber is really nice, and it doesn't drastically increase wear unless it's over -2. Toe is the killer for wear.

I have some more driving to do before I want to take off the "understeer training wheels". Nothing but respect for these forum members who can drive the crap out of this chassis

I will say that with the wheel rates I'm at, and the current geometry settings, it drives closer to an FR-S/BRZ than a Mustang GT PP. The harder you push the smaller and more nimble it feels. It's remarkable.

Anyway, back on topic. Glad you got it sorted out after a brief scare!

Great overview of the rear camber mount at the 14:08 mark ... the rest of the video gives a lot of great insight in our manufacturing & engineering too.

That is pretty nice for small adjustments and locking everything in place. I like how it even has the nut side camber keyed so both would slide at the same time.
Now the question is will it have enough adjustments for say a car that's lowered more than 1 inch or it would be better to use the adjustable arms.

Special thanks to Lund Racing for sharing.

This bracket also locks in the slide mount and re-enforces the inner IRS attachment point.

Well Jr remembered we had S550 rear camber arm brackets ! 555-4126 and these have lock plates !! So I am using these plates to lock that upper bolt in place and got the adjustable camber arms to fit ! It completely took ALL the fore and aft play out. I suspect when the car has wheelied in the past that the additional weight when the front is skyward was deflecting our other camber arm bushings. These plates also reinforce the OEM mount !!! I am excited !!!
