GT350R max alignment settings

Does anyone know how much negative camber you can get out of the R model without camber plates? I've posted this before, and either no one here races these cars, or no one has ever tried to align an R.

It is my understanding there is no stock camber adjustment in the front. You can loosen stuff up and maybe get a little or balance out L Vs R.

You have zero adjustment with the stock setup. It is about -1.0 to -1.1 factory. You can get different lower strut bolt that are not splined and hog out/elongate the aluminum strut Hub holes to get up to about -1.75 deg but then it also puts the tire closure to the damper body. So I went to camber plates to easily get up to -2.2 deg.

Is this true with the R as it is with the standard GT350? The R is supposed to have a more aggressive alignment from the factory, so I'm curious what Ford is doing differently if there's no adjustment.

Could just be a byproduct of slightly shorter springs?

The R has slightly more camber in the front due to the ride height difference.

Yes. Mine is with an R. I am not aware of any way there could be differences between an R and non-R regarding camber as all parts affecting this spec are identical. The spring heights could affect the resting camber but from my measurements from mine to others non-R, the resting heights are not that different when you take into account the difference in tire diameter. Yes, the spring is shorter, but the spring rate is about 50 lbs/in different so the resting spring length is pretty close.
