Allignment Specs after Lowering - Need Advice

[5.0Raj]

Hey All,

After lowering 1 inch and realigning, these are my settings. The tech said although the camber is in the red, it's very minimal effect on tire wear and that the camber is perfect for turning performance. I have a GT PP1 with non Mag-Ride. Based on this alignment results, i think i'll be ok without having to purchase new Camber Bolts. Any advise?

I’d probably dial in front toe to be the same on both sides but otherwise, looks good. Well more than capable for a street setup

^^^ +1. Camber looks great for a street setup.

Thanks guys! So I guess I’m good to go and enjoy.

You should be fine with those specs. I have a 2020 PP2 with Steeda 1” drop springs and mine rides great with these specs attached.

Thanks and I’m a bit jealous that you got a PP2. Stopped making them for 2021 and I wasn’t in the position to get one last year.

Thanks. Scooped it up in Sept last year and traded in my 19 Scat Pack Charger. Got an awesome deal on it too. It was the only one within 500 miles of Atlanta at the time.

Hey Guys, sorry to revive an old thread here, but i'm on the fence here and am hoping more of you can chime in with some advise. Above i showed what my allignment specs are after lowereing. I did buy camber bolts to bring it back within spec, but not sure if i should do it. I"m more concerned with tire wear. Based on my negative camber up front at -1.7 and -1.6.....what should i do? Do you think i should put the bolts on and reallign? what are the factory specs? How much am i off? I know a few of you said i shouldn't have any problems, but just want to figure out what i should do? Thanks in advance.

I would install the Steeda roll-center correction and bumpsteer kit. You’ll get handling benefits and dial your camber back a touch.

Otherwise, just roll with what you have. -1.7 is fine for the street; so long as your toe is good, your tires will be fine.

Leave it alone. The alignment specs are great. You will have no problems with tire wear.

I have sve r357 with 1.5 inch drop. Also have caster camber plates but is this too much camber? and what are cons of running too much camber beside wearing the tires out faster.

I'm running -2.5 degrees of front camber, my tires are wearing even. I do like to have fun on on ramps, traffic circles and some twisties. Toe is what kills tires.

So I should be good with running -3 camber? Kinda on the fence on getting my tires realigned to -1.5

 

[K4fxd]

-3 is pretty steep. If you are aggressive in the corners it could work.

-2.5 is a compromise for me, -2 would work better on the street and -3 would work better on the track. I don't want to have to do an alignment before and after every track day.

I only daily drive the car expect your occasional race but I don’t go fast corners. I just don’t want my tires to run out quick on me.
