Excellent. Thank you. I have an appointment tomorrow morning. The shops was recommended by some other S550 owners in the area.

would being lowered affect these specs?

 

[PamAndJim]

listed below are the specs that we use at Steeda for street driven S550. Also, we have two state of art Hunter alignment machines in Florida and Georgia. With that being said, if anyone has any questions or concerns at the alignment shop please call, and ask for Steve C or Jamie B. Both those techs have prepared record setting road race and autocross Mustangs for over 20years and are ASE certified.

Furthermore, do your research on alignment shops make sure they have the latest and greatest alignment rack. No toe and go shops!!!

Camber target front 1.2 Neg

Total toe in target front 1/16

Caster range 6.5 to 8.0 try to reach max caster
7.2 is where we see most S550 end up.

Camber target Rear 1.5

Total toe in target rear 1/16

Also, make sure you torque the upper rear camber bolt to 120 ft lbs after adjusting.

For track events our specs are totally different, again this is for a street driven S550.

Is that rear camber correct at 1.5 degrees? Just checking because it seems like even in stock form the rears had some negative camber.

Yes

Assuming this torque spec is for the Steeda rear camber adjuster. OEM is 85 lb/ft. You guys said 100 lb/ft on the phone last week. Looking for the definitive answer as the adapter has slipped twice. 120 lb/ft on a bolt with half thr threads milled off? Promise it won't break?

Yes

He means -1.5

No Problem @120 lb/ft,we tested to over 200 lb/ft

My results, in case it helps anyone. The guy said they spent a ton of time trying to get it just right. The only thing that's a little out of spec is the front right caster. He said 8.2 was the closest he could get and that the more important thing is that the left and right are within .5 degrees if each other.
