    This guy got 3.3. Another guy in this thread claimed he could go to 4, with Steeda springs.https://www.fordgt500.com/threads/more-negative-camber-strut-tower-holes-cut.212766/?post_id=3136639#post-3136639But due to the "aero" config on the... (see full post)

    Curious about the same thing with a recent switch to carbon doors. I de-pinned the door harness to retain only the electric mirror adjustments. Didn’t realize the door ajar sensor was in the latch mechanism.Related question - what did you use... (see full post)

    I am surprised. I thought everybody running Vorshlag was getting pretty much as much negative camber as they wanted. -3.5°, even -4° (see full post)

    Probably are the same. Stock plates are almost impossible to move camber with weight on the susp. Originally, I was going to reduce camber for street (hence getting Vorshlag plates), but I decided to just run zero toe and leave the "heavy"... (see full post)

    The new hood has been cut, painted, and installed. A coworker let me borrow his pneumatic riveter, which I'd definitely recommend! I'm really happy with how this turned out.I'm about a month and a half before my first track day of the season...

    First round of off-season upgrades is complete. Racequip seat, CSM roll bar, Racequip 6-pt harness, and Sparco steering wheel. I'm most proud of the steering wheel setup because I didn't lose any functions (cruise control, radio controls, turn...

    Okay, so what now?I picked up a Scion FR-S at the beginning of this year so that I could still play and try something new. That car is built for the SSC autocross class and is a very mild build. I really enjoyed the extremely cheap consumables...
  • Bill Pemberton
    Road racing and drifting are not mutually compatible. The drift car would not be good at handling and visa versa. The front suspension mods, involving spindles, Ackerman, caster rates and etc would probably make the car illegal in the road race...

    I’m looking at building a mustang that I can race in the nasa cmc and also take it drifting when there isn’t any local road course events. Any advice for this build?

    Vorshlag. Not sure how much of what I got applies to your S650 though.And yes, Vorshlag plates max out at that with stock CFTP springs. Other 20+ GT500 owners have gotten more, with springs that lower ride height below stock CFTP (S550).These...

    I see red anodizing. Are those Vorshlag plates, or do stock GT500 camber plates look like that? (I am too poor for anybody even to let me peak into the strut hole of a GT500, so . . . ). I am mainly asking because you said the plates maxed... (see full post)
