Alignment suggestions

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has suggestions for setting the caster, camber, and tow.
I've read the stock camber settings were crappy because of postive settings.
I haven't seen anything on caster adjustments.

My springs are Steeda Mustang springs with a specific rate of 650 and lowered the bird alot more than the 1.25" they advertise for the Mustang.

I don't want to take my car to the Ford Dealership and they set everything to stock specs. Any help is appreciated. THANKS


FYI,...
I ordered my Maximum Motorsports Caster Camber Plates for $180 shipped from a guy on Corral.net. His name is jdsperformance.

Thats a savings of about $30 compaired to M.M direct if anyones interested.

I guess it's been a few years since I bought (SVO) stuff from Art's. They were great to deal with then.

Anyone happen to know the inner tie-rod thread size ? I'm trying to figure out if the M.M Bumpster kit will work.
Also, I'm not certain if the tie-rod bolt that goes through the spindle is a direct bolt on.
Take a look at these to get a idea of what I'm trying to explain.

if you change your inner tie rods to sn-95, the MM bumpsteer kit will work.

however, your car is too low to ever get the alignment correct without some major re-working of the control arm mounts. the camber curve is really messed up when you lower them that much. caster/camber plates will not correct the camber curve. it is already less than ideal from the factory.

Are you saying my tires are going to wear irregular or my handling is not going to be that great ?
I can tell you now, I'm not raising it back up at all. I like the look too much.
