Smoke them tyres Member 557 Member For: 17y 6m 23d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 26/09/08 10:23 AM Share Posted 26/09/08 10:23 AM Has anyone found better specs than the std Ford ones for a std ride height?I'm thinking that the camber is ok, but that it needs more caster. The front tyres are showing signs of distress on their outside edge.I know more grip is available if the tyre wear pattern/contact patch is improved in hard cornering......just need the specs to do it.....? Now that the camber kits are in, should just be a matter of changing the shim stacks.

Went with extra caster too.......rear, max neg camber (you wont be able to get too much at stock height) and a touch of toe in. I still havent done enough testing and research but this works better than stock.

seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel.

The just fitted Bilsteins and HD sway bars may have had some thing to do with it as well Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50128-wheel-alignment-specs/#findComment-748997 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a YOU-Beaut $20,000 wheel alignment machine. I'm not joking It comes out absolutly perfect, your car will feel like a different car and handle amazing. About $65 bucks for the service, your car will handle like it is on rails.
