Caster Camber plates on 94 Cobra

[Clevelandmustang]

I have a set of Caster Camber plates for my 94 Cobra, how do I want to have them set, I don't really need them I guess but I haver them here, may as well use them!! They are Steeda if that matters.

Do I run negative camber? what are good specs?

Run about -2 degrees camber for a good street handling car. I'm running the same and it handles pretty good.

Yes. also depending on if ya road race or not. But street should be good at -2 that way when ya take turns on normal driving it will go to 0 degrees chamber means 100 percent contact patch across the face of the tire..

for road racing usually-4 or more they used depending on how low the car sits to the ground. and how hard it will take turns. to give it as close to zero degrees chamber as possible to make the best turning during a race. for handling as well.

also. the more - degree you go. the more the inside of the tire edge will wear. -2 will not at all affect ur tires. u will maybe at most lose like 100 miles off the life of the tires thats it. ant ****.

but also remember this. the more neg number you do the more responsive it will be for turning and lane changes. due to all the weight being put on the inside of the tire. and it will push toward positive putting more andmore pressure on the tires from inside to outside.

but this can also cause oversteer. or to much turning and under high speeds could kick ur assend out around turns( like road racing speeds.

Ive done my research on all the stuff. just thought i would add some knowledge in.


but -2 is good forthe street. somewhat tighter then stock.

but like me i replaced tires more on my stang then i did oil lol.

i alwasy have my **** all the way neg lol. nice tight turning lol.


also Seeing you got them nice cc plates. if u have a adjustable caster angle as well. adjust that to make the strut as close to centerline as possible. stock ford designed the mustangs with the strut going toward the dashbard of the car. try to set it as close to the frontof the car as ya can. this will also inprove ur suspension geomety and put a more even stress across the strut tower. and also make ur suspension less of a bind up front. better bound and rebound

I wouldn't go crazy though and add a lot of negative camber. Doing so will make the car hard to drive at highway speeds. When I did mine i tinkered around with them abit. Had almost 0 degrees camber on both sides. It was scary having the car about 40mph.

This post confuses me, I feel you meant something like 'almost 10'...?

im not talking about chamber lol that part you quoted is for CASTER ANGLE. chamber is tire movement tilt in and out. caster is suspension movement geomitry. on are mustangs from looking at the side of the car view moving the caster angle toward the front of the car(strut forwar will give better responce from the strut on the road.)

like we said for street use -2 degrees is were ya want it. when turning it will give ya a zero degree chamber angle. 100 percent contact patch.


CASTER IS strut forward or back.
CHAMBER JUST DOES tire tilt in or out.
TOE IS TIRE angle inward or outward.

Tim- give me a call and I can help you with setup. :deal:

Sorry didn't read that right. I know what caster/camber/toe is....

I will install next week sometime, thanks, Tim
