Thinking of a Master Plan...

Hey dude, what do you mean by slot the strut? And also how much were those wheels, those things look bad ass!!

Hopefully this stays up.

it measures out to RIGHT at 1/8".

Wheels were about $300 a pop.

oh, alright, gotcha, thanks for the site.

and damn, that's a pretty penny for the wheels but for the size and I'm sure they don't weigh as much as stock 18s, they seem like they're going to end up on my wish list for next year.. lol.

I've been running -2.5º camber and 1/8" toe in since 2006.
With frequent tire rotations I've been able to get 3 summers and 30,000 miles out of a set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's.
I just ordered a new set of tires and the Michelins are still at 3/32 which will be perfect for a day of lapping.

So thinker, what wheels are those?

Enkei NTs03+M

They weigh in at 21#'s each. From what I found out there, to go this large this is one of the only choices under 25#'s at this price range. You can get some knockoff ones at around 27#'s from what I have seen for less, but for the money I like these. To get close to the weight the only other option that can fit are CCW's at double the price.

So should I just readjust my camber setting, get a CAI and tuner FTW? Cuz that works for my cheap ass.

Something a lot of mustang owners seem to skip is the alignment, which IMO is the most important part.

It's like building the hell out of your engine and running a crappy canned tune.

Most alignment places just set the camber at 0.

I can't stand it, my wrx which runs -3 upfront turns on a dime, for a street driven car I would recommnd around -1.5 as it's a middle ground between performance and tire wear.

As long as the the toe is zero'd out, tire wear will be fine. I highly recommend more camber on these cars, makes a world of difference and helps eliminate alot of understeer that these cars have.


Cliff notes; run more camber for optimal performance, -1.5 front is my suggestion

I agree with the alignment part but not all canned tunes are crappy.
Mine has gotten me a best of 11.139

^ yeah, i know its not the best analogy
