It will not change much up front. Your toe will be off (out). After springs and camber bolts I am now at around -2.5 up front.

That is the factory recommended specs.

For put putting around I would do something similar to the specs for GT350 with a little more toe in for tire wear.

In the end it all depends on how you like to drive it. For anything serious a lot of negative camber up front is required.

Those are the Ford Performance road course or track spec not the factory alignment spec. Just search alignment in this forum. It has been shared many times.

That is correct. To be honest the FP GT350 settings are very ‘mild’ as is. Personally, I cannot imagine running something less because of how the stock GT350 suspension is setup (ok maybe toe can be on the ‘in’ side of things in the front). But I guess everybody has different preferences.

I ended up with a setup that is ‘inspired’ by the R settings with a bit more camber. But I do not normally commute with my car and do not care about tire wear that much. So that works for me.

On my TP car I was on track settings. On the R and SC2's and track settings or more agressive and you will destroy the tires. So I adjust as necessary.

Absolutely. I tried 3 different alignments before I ended up with where I am now.

Mind sharing your alignment? :D I'm getting the R specs wheels with SC2s and the camber bolts for -2.5 in the front and -2.0 on the rear, which I think that's about right for driving to the car and intermediate level racing.

Are you actually racing or HPDE? If racing wont a dedicated slick be the better tire?
