Robert,This car has the optional Eibach adjustable coil overs, I guess the bushing are what ever comes with them? or are the OEM bushings re-used?
I don't have a clue. Usually, an aftermarket coilover (or shock) will not include a bushing. A guy would order (or not) a complete set of bushings that would replace all of the bushings in the front suspension (coilover, sway bar, steering rack...).
An adjustable coilover, to me, means that you can adjust the ride height. Of course, this could change corner weights, bumpsteer, camber...
However, it may mean "adjustable" as it relates to coilover damper (shock) valving. You may remember the 95R has factory adjustable Koni shocks. This just makes the shock stiffer or less stiff.
You need to look when the car is on a perfectly level surface. I did a laser level in my garage (which looked level). All three sides were out, the worst being 1.72" low.I have not even looked at the car when it is sitting on level ground, maybe the angle is fine.
Lowering a Mustang causes negative camber. Here is what negative looks like when looking at the front of the car:The main reason for the alignment is to pull the passenger side tire in at the top.

You seem to be describing positive camber in one side?
\----/ (its good for nothing ;-) ).
I think all lower control arms already have a bushing pressed in? I don't think this one change will hurt ride quality.One other question.................my Shelby tubed lower control arms have poly bushings, am I making a mistake by installing these?
Another view...........There is no room at all to move these 335/30's inward.
Gary can do it. :-D
My car runs 6.00 X 15 Blue Streaks on the rear (10.6" wide). The "big tire" guys run 7.00 X 15 tires (12.0").
He sends to the diff out and cuts out ~1 1/2" from the center of each axle housing. He makes shorter axles. Presto, plenty of room for bigger tires (and the required bigger wheels). ;-)

Robert, I don't know the specs on a GT500/GT500SS. Bruce will know more since he has spent a lot of time underneath one. :thumbsup:
