Alignment settings after c/c plates..inside:

[K-Dubb]

The car is lowered with M&M race springs, and I just installed MM C/C plates so I could get a proper alignment.
This is the best they could get it. Looking at the diagram on the c/c plate instructions, the Caster looks to be a little high, but I guess there is nothing that can be done? What will this cause?:

Left Front:

Camber: -.5
Caster 4.8
Toe .13

Right front:

Camber: -.4
Caster 5.0
Toe .14

Your current alignment settings aren't all that far off from what MM recommends. Maybe try and get those settings a tad bit closer to each other (pass. side to drivers side) and call it a day. :shrug:

Maximum Motorsports on '03-'04 Cobra alignment specs -


We recommend that caster be set to 4.5° positive for
street cars - but do not adjust the plate beyond the
halfway point without special attention to bumpsteer
detailed below. For racecars we recommend that the
caster be set to 6.5° positive, or at the limit of adjustment
on the plate - with mandatory attention to
bumpsteer. The Mustang responds favorably to
increased positive caster. The reason: The more
positive the caster setting, the more negative camber
the loaded tire will gain while cornering.
We recommend that camber be set to 0.5° negative
for street cars, never positive as Ford allows. For
racecars we recommend 1.5° to 2.5° negative camber.
Some cars/drivers need more negative camber for
optimum handling and tire wear. Keep an eye on your
own tire wear and make adjustments as necessary.
We recommend setting the toe to the factory spec of
0.5° (1/8") total toe-in for street use. For racecars we
recommend 0.5° total toe-out.

I set my caster to 4.5 as well. Handles great, probably wear the tires out a little faster though.

Those positive Caster settings are just fine, I'd try for more negative camber though..
-.8 to -1.0..

Thanks. It sure does ride better than it ever has.
