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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 3m 20d Posted 02/08/12 09:45 AM Author Share Posted 02/08/12 09:45 AM 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 3m 20d Posted 02/08/12 10:25 AM Author Share Posted 02/08/12 10:25 AM 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With needing 1+ deg of adjustment, will these be ok or should I go the k-macs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 3m 20d Posted 02/08/12 11:41 AM Author Share Posted 02/08/12 11:41 AM 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 lolMaybe WA could better answer this so hopefully he'll chime in.Also you didn't have any negative rear camber did you Stiflr?
