Steeda springs

[chrisosaile]

The springs drop 1inch in the front and1 1/4 in the rear.My problem is the front tires are roaring because of the camber that the new ride hight has caused.Ford tells me that the only thing i can do about it is to cut my strut towers.They are saying with the car being lowered that the camber cant be ajusted any more.What can be done to keep me from burning off front tires

Caster/Camber plates?

[JWebb]

There is always some play in the mounting holes where the struts and spindle bolts together that can be used for camber adjustment. You can slot the upper hole in the strut if need be.

Caster/Camber plates will fix the problem also.

edit: I assumed Fox based Mustang for my response since you gave us no info on the car. I see the picture in your avatar of a 05-up car.

would that be the same thing as a strut mount

no - strut mounts are just the place where the strut mates to the tower, plates are usually angled pieces of metal that give adjustments of x Degrees per plate

so if you had 1* plates, you could add them on accordingly to adjust camber

im sure its a little bit different for consumer cars - ive only ever made them for open-chassis karts

Lowered Mustangs
Lowering your Mustang will cause the top of the front tires to "lean in" towards the center of the car, resulting in rapid and/or uneven tire wear. This excessive negative camber can be easily corrected with the Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber Plates. Even a Mustang lowered as much as 2.5 inches can still be aligned to factory specifications.

You may also go here (http://www.maximummotorsports.com/store/index.php?main_page=install) to view the Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber Plate installation instructions.

Bolts on! No drilling or cutting required.
1.6-degree continuous range of camber adjustment provides alignment correction on lowered cars, and is adjustable without affecting caster.
0.7-degree continuous range of caster adjustment provides correction for OEM production tolerances.
Caster and camber are easily adjusted at the top of the strut tower.
The range of suspension travel can be shifted, allowing for additional bump travel on lowered cars.
Teflon® lined spherical bearing eliminates deflection and precisely locates the strut shaft, while still allowing the required articulation.
High-tech composite thrust bearing transfers the spring load into the strut tower.
All parts are either plated or powder coated for great looks and long lasting protection.
Patent Pending
Warranty: Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber Plates part #Mm5CC-1 have a limited lifetime warranty against spherical bearing failure or plate failure. That's right - If you wear out the spherical bearing, or break the plates while driving, we will replace that component for free.
