Surprised at the rear camber difference between a PP and GT350.
Nice reference, thanks for the post.

No problem! The most interesting thing is the difference between the OEM and the ford performance settings. I rather not have to go to the alignment shop and I may not have to because toe remains unchanged caster is only .02 of a difference and I can adjust the camber at home easily now that I have the BMR bolts which I will be installing tonight

Niice, totally on the same page as you. What I found interesting were the huge ass tolerance ranges for most values ...especially for tow.

Good point. The tolerance for oem camber puts you on the FP camber:headbonk::shrug:

Needles to say I will use the FP specs as my OEM settings.

I installed the eccentric bolt and set camber, also set the rear. My lack of patience has gotten the better of me and will be going to get the car aligned. This process is way to tedious for my patience. Any how, my final settings up front currently are -1.8 LF -2.0 RF and -1.4 rear. The rear has about a -.6 to -1.4 adjustability. I have attached the illustration showing the bolt and slot where the rear adjustment is to be made. As I said, this is a very tedious task and also want the toe set properly (I am not even going to try lol) so im taking her in.

Has there ever been a strength test done on the bmr camber bolts vs the OEM hardware? I think the bmr would meet my needs but I don't want to have to worry about them giving up

According to BMR these bolts are built by Ingalls Engineering. I have done a lot of research and feel safe using these. These bolts are rated at 12.9 hardened steel.

So the shop is giving me a warning of the settings specified by Ford performance. They are worried that I will wear down the tires too quickly. I guess I rather prefer them provide a warning then no warning at all. But please just set the alignment to the Ford performance specifications SMH

So here are the final measurements from the alignment rack. She is good to go and within FP specs. Check out the initial front toe!!!!
