Alignment specs

[Phoenix0783]

I have lowered my Cobra about 1 1/4" and installed Maximum Motorsports caster/camber plates. I'm going to get it aligned next week. Should I do anything other than stock specs? I've heard it's good to add a little positive caster.

Recommended Alignment Settings

1994-2004 Mustang Camber* Caster Toe

Drag racing-limited street use: -.3° to -.6°, maximum positive (5° or more), 1/16 inch total toe-in

General street use: -.8° to -1.1°, maximum positive (5° or more), 3/32 inch total toe-in

Aggressive street handling: -1.2° to -1.5°, maximum positive (5° or more), 3/32 inch total toe-in

Road race / Autocross: -1.8° to -2.8°, maximum positive (5° or more), -3/32 to +1/8 (adjust for conditions)

*More negative-camber (-2.0º) gives better cornering grip and more wear on the inside edge of the tire.
*Less negative-camber (-0.5º) gives less cornering grip and more wear on the outside edge of the tire.

Steeda is correct and I would go with the most positive caster you can get and for street use no more than -.5 camber and about 3/32 - 1/8 inch toe in.

I align mine at my Buddy's shop and we always put as much positive caster into as we can get

I added half a degree of positive camber to the Maximum Motorsports baseline of 3.6 for a total of 4.1. Seems to handle pretty well.

Camber or did you mean caster?
