    Congrats on all the changes and I will admit I really liked a slider in my Boss 302S --- just makes it easier to get in and out. (see full post)

    Some updates on FR500S #32 returning to active duty. - Very slim Cobra seat replaced with a wider Sparco and slider. The Cobra is now on the passenger side where there was none before. Having a slider makes it SO easy to get in and out of the...

    Bill Pemberton posted the thread Mr. CAMT is 40 today!! in General Mustang Forum.
    Old Mr. Riner Auto is hitting the big 40 , which I am sure makes him think he is getting wrinkles and more, but for all of us on here that are in our 70s we need to remind him he is just a young conehead now! Riner, my friend, go out and...

    Raise rear ride height to improve rotation mid corner. Put a click of rebound in to reduce the dive unloading under heavy braking if you do, Work it in 1/8" increments. I like 3/8-1/2" (10-13mm) rake.

    The deflection of the bushings would be the biggest player here. They're all gone in my car and for many who spend time on track. Deflection of things like uprights and wheels exists, but it's quite small in comparison with the camber loss due to...

    When I asked Vorshlag how much negative camber I should run at the track they laughed and said, "All of it." I thought that was a very Texas response (in the best way possible), and it's proven to be about right in my limited HPDE experience.

    You are giving entirely too much credit to Ford on their track tuning work and attributing far too much difference to the knuckle change. At the end of the day, it's a Mac Strut. I don't care what the particulars are, struts *always* need a high...

    Dave, I think you missed the part where I said that dedicated track cars will want a more precise alignment, and perhaps also the part where the OP said he has a dual use car and doesn't want to get an alignment every time he goes to the track...

    I run AJs Fulcrum 14. Well since I’m still going through an engine rebuild, I have it installed lol.AJ can design custom uprights to your request or class rules. I had him do custom uprights for me because I preferred the looks of the ones he...

    I need to just have this auto post every 45-60 days, but the above is a terrible idea. I do alignments, mostly on performance cars as a decent part of my living. Average about 250/year. And lots of camber plates.Any non threaded adjustment...

    Strictly tire and track dependent. Hoosier R7/A7s like up to -4.0, Michelin S9 or H2 are happy at -3.5 to -3.7 up front. In the rear we look at what is most desired, ranging from -1.8 for maximum drive off and braking stability to -2.3 for better...

    This is one of those situations that I feel a bit awkward about. First, you didn't say what car you have, but the first photo looks like a GT350. Now, the problem is that GT350's are a very different setup from Mustang GT's, and the advice of...

    it seems like you guys are trying to find a perfect everywhere camber setting which of course doesn’t exist. So many variables including tire types, track conditions, suspension setup etc. Generally these cars like a lot of front camber on...

    That is amazing. You should be proud. I live near Watkins Glen. Are you running in that upcoming race? If so I hope to shake your hand. (see full post)
