GT PP w/ eibach sportlines... No alignment needed?

[2Cool]

I handed my alignment guy a sheet with the image below and the Ford specs for my GTPP. Just to ensure there were no questions.

Reading some of these comments makes me feel good I am going to Steeda to get all my suspension parts installed and they are doing the alignment.

Do you happen to have a link to that sheet?

got my car back on the rack...& just called, they got
LF rear 1.1 but RT rear is still 1.7.....
told the writer that I paid for this because they didn't cover under warranty so fix RR.

I assume you are talking about camber. Camber adjustment is built into the rear suspension. Have them adjust it to the specs posted above.

Nothing special needs to be done here. Set rear camber and then front & rear toe.

Your front camber may have changed (increase negative camber) however as long as it is the same or close to the same side-to-side I wouldn't worry about it.

Elbach says they can get it to -1.2 so I would like 1.2/1.3/1.4
looking at it the way it sits at 1.7 it just looks bad

So apparently my car is out of spec...

I called Eibach and they said the front was -1.4 to -1.7 on the cars they did. Spec is -1.0 +/-.75, Both of my fronts are at -1.7, which is ok

Rear spec is -1.5 +/-.75, my LR is at -2.3 and RR is -1.9. Both in spec but too much of a difference between the 2.

They said the rear subframe might be out of alignment from when the springs were installed. They sent me a picture showing me the alignment holes used to check the rear subframe alignment. They use dowel pins at the factory to align the subframe.
He said I should not need camber bolts nor plates.

My alignment shop is going to see what they can do tomorrow.

Or you can get this kit and install it.

Just had mine done.

Rear

Toe: 0.0° - was already perfect
Camber: 2.2° - no change. They were both at 2.2°, I said leave it.

Front

Toe: 0.0° (I think...never got a good answer and was told "you don't want 0." But I do...)
Camber: 1.5° - was at ~2.1° R and ~1.7° L.

I would like to find a more understanding shop when I move to OK in a couple months but this seems alright for now.

 

[dwaleke]

I would set rear to 1.5 at most.

But I agree when it's even side to side it's hard to say to change it if you don't trust the shop.

I also set front and rear toe to zero.

 

[USAF]

first alignment was done and paperwork says
2015:coupe:except performance: track performance -1.7 (was red)
second time
2015:coupeerformance: track package -1.7 (green) ???

are they trying to fudge the numbers to shut me up?

 

[dwaleke]

2nd set of numbers is for the gt pp cars which technically that number is in spec.

1.7 is fine if it's the same side to side.

 

[USAF]

yes I would be happy with 1.7 L/R however L is 1.1 and R is 1.7

I think that far apart and -1.5 is spec to -1.1 is under
