BMR SP080 Alignment Specs (Pictures)

[MustangPapi]

I have a 2016 Mustang GT Automatic and recently installed 20x10 Project 6GR wheels wrapped in 285/35/20 square Super Sports. I have just installed the BMR SP080 and had it aligned and have the picture attached. Unfortunately I don't know anything about alignment specs.

Are these correct or do they need adjustment? Thanks!

The actual and before numbers are what is important. Those all seem blank.

Also I'll be sending a bill from my chiropractor for the crick I now have in my neck.

lol there are no measurements for camber or toe? I don't understand.

 

[robertwsimpson]

Did you ask them for the specs or did they actually put your car on a rack and check the measurements?

Oh shit.. Lol I'm an idiot, in the process of getting the actual copy now. They sent the wrong copy

New Pictures

Here are the new pictures of the alignment. Please let me know what needs to be changed and where the values need to be. Would love for a BMR Tech to chime in as well! Thanks

I'm really curious what the measurements were before the springs went on. I'll throw my car on the rack and post the sheet.

Well it looks like the alignment has already been done. Don't really know what you are wanting to know. You added the springs, and the goal is to bring the alignment back into spec so you don't kill your tires. Looks like the alignment is already done, so there's nothing to worry about or tweak.

If it was me, I would have brought that left front toe in closer to 0.00, but I mean technically it's within range.

You don't need to know what the numbers mean, but it's easy to see what it should be at. For example front toe should be -0.10 to +0.10. So center of that would be 0.00. Left front before was -0.08. He adjusted it in to -0.03. Right front was -0.22, it was adjusted to -0.01.

Camber is usually what changes when lowering, but the front is pretty much already centered. The rear I can't tell if it was adjusted since moving the toe as much as they did could have shifted it, but it's close enough to be okay.

I've got to do my own alignment soon on mine once I get my springs installed, so thanks for posting this. I now know what I'll be looking at on our Hunter machine too.

ok, so here is my sheet from tonight... suspension is stock

Since toe has an adjustment and it's impossible to know what you were at before, we'll take that with a grain of salt. Everything else should reflect a demonstrable change in the alignment due to the spring installation.

 

[robertwsimpson]

if we assume toe was set the same, it looks like the front toed in about 0.2 deg of total toe. the rear about the same.

it looks like front camber did not change at all, which is surprising to me. Rear camber did not change by a large amount, if any.

Wow, I am very surprised at this. Looks like if all you want to do is stay in spec with camber and you're installing this kit, there is no adjustment needed at all!

Generally, due to suspension geometry, toe changes as well. It's set up this way because under load from braking, the suspension toes in to increase stability. The rear tends to do the same.

Curious about this. Im installing same sp080 springs on mine in a few days and I was told no alignment was needed with these.

OP's alignment is excellent for street use.

Edit - I flipped the front toe signs in my head. You're running toe out up front which I would never recommend for a street car. You want to run .02/03 front toe in, per wheel.

"Needed" is a strong word. I'd do one though... let everything settle for about a week or two and then go get an alignment. my 2 cents.

Robert - your toe, both front and rear, are totally hosed. You need way more rear toe in and you need your right front toe to match your left front toe.

I disagree on your assessment. toe in in the rear is used to increase power out stability. For speed, you should run as little as you feel comfortable with. If the back end is twitchy coming out of corners, you can use more toe in to help. In the front, I didn't center the steering wheel. That's why the measurements don't match. I wasn't doing an alignment, just a quick check. Total toe is what I was looking at.

Do you work in a shop? Have you done an alignment?
