1.8 isn't too bad, I was under the assumption that at about 0.5 you;d still get pretty even tyre wear, bringing it in a bit over a degree shouldn't be too hard.

Also need to note that it is much harder for Stiflr to get around at that height given the lower height of the FPV bodykit so for practicality purposes you probably couldn't go much lower

hahaha yer ill wash them.

yer get a camber kit for the front a must. I got shims in mine atm but it still has neg camber. the suspension place said for a daily street car you want 0 deg of camber.

My suspension shop set me up at 0.8deg neg camber on the front. Compromise between wear and handling for the street.

Can't find my wheel alignment printout for the FG but found an old one off my BA XR6 (done at Ford). On the front they adjusted it to 0.52 degrees left and 0.63 degrees right.

So I guess half a degree would be what the stock is because you'd assume they should adjust it to what Ford makes the cars with.

But like I said this is a BA so FG may or may not be different

that's a lot of Neg camber from standard, that's definately going to scrub out the insides!

Why would they set them at neg 1.0 from factory but then get their mechanics to do less than that when car's get wheel aligned, classic ford lol

Bellato, do you how much adjustment there is available in the super pro camber kits? With needing 1+ deg of adjustment, will these be ok or should I go the k-macs?

To be honest I've never used them but I think the only difference between the Superpro and the K-mac kits is that the Superpro is shims and the K-mac is ratchet style. Id say they both have a fairly similar range of adjustment. I do remember though when my Ba was lowered my mate who worked at Bob Jane and did my wheel alignment told me that if need be I should chuck in a shim or 2 (prob only 1mm shims) and that would bring it back out. Given you don't need much adjustment I'd say both kits will do the job, its just a matter of which you want to use. If you'll install and do yourself probs K-mac cause easier to use, but if your mechanic is going to do it, go superpro and let him adjust the shims as need be lol

Maybe WA could better answer this so hopefully he'll chime in.

Also you didn't have any negative rear camber did you Stiflr?

To easy Bellato, Cheers.

Just done a quick calc, there's approx .8-1deg on the rears. Can barely notice it.
