Adding Adjustable Camber Plates

[rjoseph1960]

Hi All,
I'm adding the New FP Adjustable Camber Plates to my 21 Mustang GT Vert... I want to have 1.5dg. to the front, currently I'm at 1.0dg. I'm not tracking the car, just having fun on the streets. ( Don't tell the Cop's)... I know it will add to tire ware, but the handing will pay off.

As long as your toe is in spec/zeroed, I'm very confident you will see no adverse tire wear from that camber change. And hopefully you mean -1.5 degrees of camber.

Yes, factory toe is 0 +-.20. The spec. I'm using is off a 24 Dark Horse...

I've been running front -2.5 camber for 4 years. If you're gonna do plates, might as well use them for realz. Start with -1.7 or -2.0.

You want ZERO or 0.05 front toe each side for a combined of 0.1 TOTAL. You can go up to 0.07 each side but if your alignment guy can't do that, FIRE him.

For a pure street car, you could also run those toe numbers stated above, but as toe in. I'm not sure if Shogun meant that as toe out, or toe in.

Having that small amount of toe in helps account for bushing flex in the arms and keeps the tires more true at speed. Better for ultimate tire wear on a street only application. I agree that the camber settings will be perfectly fine on their own. Don't forget to add in a little negative camber out back too.

Im not sure if theres a question in there, but hell ya go for it and dont be timid about running more camber. I’d love to see the front with 0.5 more neg camber than you’re runing on the rear. At least 2.0, 2.2 or 2.4 or 2.5 would be even better.

the front really comes alive with more camber.

Anyone who claims they can feel a 0.5 degree camber change is lying. Go big or don’t bother.
