LOL u dont even get those speeds at the track!

anyways as for camber, if u also plan on drifting it (at the track…) lol

rear camber -1.5 to -1  
front camber -2.5 to -2.8

this is also so u dont blow through tires…

but thats just a generally good street camber… again u cant adjust ur rear camber unless u adjust the rear height… so the lower u go the more camber ull have (obv) but id assume since u want to be lowered ur not gonna have 0 camber.

fronts u can go into the -3s to look “cool” but again its a tire issue

OEM front toe-in is 1.5 - 3.5mm  
rear toe-in is 0 - 5 mm

From what I understand, toe during high speeds evens itself out close to 0 (assuming you’re toeing in) the faster you go, so it shouldn’t be too much of an issue really. Stock specs should be fine.

On a side note, if you wanna calculate your gearing’s top speed btw, this is a cool tool: [http://www.mustangii.net/topspeed.asp](http://www.mustangii.net/topspeed.asp)

With your specs, assuming you have stock rev limit, your top speed, gearing wise, is 185.25 mph, or 298 km/h (not factoring in any resistances).

Yes, I was very bored.

^yes and to keep a car in a straight line at high speeds, toe-in is a must.

I hope you all realize that the rear suspension is adjustable. Toe and Camber. You won’t get insane adjustment by any means. But don’t say there is NONE.  
Eccentric bolts…just sayin.

Seized, or stripped lol.

Heat the nut. Nothing else. Break the nuts free. Wiggle the bolt slowly, clean it up best you can. And away you go.

I don’t give my specs to no one 🙂 Member we used your specs on your car 😉

Speaking of which…I been wanting to re-align my own car for a while now. No motivation for that though.
