OEM Camber Plate Pop Rivet Settings Reply #15 – June 19, 2017, 09:51:02 AM Alignment specs are in the MM instructions for street and race. I took the installation instructions to the alignment shop (Firestone) and the tech put it on the numbers for the street spec. MM's specs read as follows:ALIGNMENT RECOMMENDATIONSIf you wish, you can simply have your car aligned to Ford’sspecifications:We recommend that caster be set to 4.5 degrees positivefor street cars - but do not adjust the plate beyond thehalfway point without special attention to bumpsteerdetailed below. For race cars we recommend that thecaster be set to 6 degrees positive, or at the limit ofadjustment on the plate - with mandatory attention tobumpsteer. The Mustang responds favorably to increasedpositive caster. The reason: The more positive the castersetting, the more negative camber the loaded tire will gainwhile cornering.We recommend that camber be set to .5 degree negativefor street cars, never positive as Ford allows. For race carswe recommend 1.5 to 2.5 degrees negative camber. Somecars/drivers need more negative camber for optimumhandling and tire wear. Keep an eye on your own tire wearand make adjustments as necessary.We recommend setting the toe to the factory spec of .5degree toe-in for street use. For race cars we recommend.5 degree toe-out.So basically I am running 4.5 degrees of positive caster, 0.5 degrees of negative camber, and 0.5 degree of toe-in. And I am not an ASE tech but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night (sorry Foe could not resist).With that being said I think that Foe and I are really happy with the CC plates and the alignment specs so jump in head first and buy a set.

I, too, followed MM's guidelines on alignment, but decided that the factory camber was better. I also found that +4.5 caster was about the maximum I could get from them. Quote Selected
