Eibach Sportline springs, tech tip for perfect alignment and no camber kit

[05roush0090]

I'm wondering if this would be too much of a correction for the pro kit? I have a roush body kit so I was thinking about going with the pro kit but if it over corrects it then it will still wear the tires unevenly correct?

I ran the Eibach Pro kit on my 07 GT/CS, and I did this little trick with the stock mounts as well. Worked great for me, with no uneven tire wear, so you should have no troubles.

wow Im going to do this little trick tomorrow! I'm running the sportlines and havent had enough for CC plates.

I have new frpp struts sitting in the garage. If I get a new set of gt500 mounts, and use my old Frpp k springs. Is there still a little play doing this if its not perfect?

I just did this today after reading this post. My car has Ford racing K springs and it worked like a charm and is very easy to quickly do. When you do this you just have to make sure you disconnect the sway bar end link to the strut so you can push the strut assembly down enough to spin the mount. I had camber bolts that I took off the car and just did this instead and im glad I did. Thank you for making this post.

So no one had an alignment after doing this yet? Your just going off feel? What about Toe?

with sportlines, mine needs an alignment. It ate the tires up on the inside after 2 years.

Great info, man!

Doing this for sure. I dropped my car the other day, just got back from the alignment shop and was told they couldn't do shit for me without camber plates. Although, is it supposed to be easy to turn the strut mounts? I remember having to use spring compressors to rotate the mounts in place?

did this today, super easy and no more camber!

Bad06stang and anyone else who wants to do this:

You don't have to disconnect your front sway bar links. If you take off all 8 nuts and jack in the center of the engine crossmember you can rotate both sides 180 degrees and then (with a helper is best) slowly lower the car (guiding the studs into their holes, with your hand on the coil spring).

I did my 2005 v6 (Vogtland springs, 245/45 x19 tires) and my 2007 5.4 DOHC swap (FRPP GT500 springs, 255/45 x18 tires) this way and got rid of my import camber look for FREE. I love this trick!

I did this when I installed the SR springs from AM on my '06GT. Camber was well within spec (I think I'm at -.5* maybe), which actually recovered some from where it was before the install - maybe .5* or so. The only thing was that my toe was off, that had to be corrected as it was out of spec.
