Orange Juice Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I have a new to me '08 SGT-C and need to align it since I have new tires. I have original rims and stock size tires.I would appreciate the specs(toe in/out,camber and etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Unless you get camber bolts or caster/camber plates, you really don't have any adjustment other than toe: My opinion for specs: toe 1/16-1/8" in for street, 0 toe for open track, slight toe out for autocross. camber (assuming you buy camber bolts to adjust this) -1 to -1.5 degrees. c/c plates are a waste (IMO) for street use, but I still want a set lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I've never aligned my Shelby GT LOL. I guess I'm lucky that all looks & feels fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I think it's a crap shoot, from what I understand, fords "specs" had camber at -.75% +/- .75%, so depending on where you started, the overall change in camber may have stayed within spec when it was lowered. Clearly shelby and ford didn't think it was an issue, but I know the insides of the stock tires were worn more than they should have been for the miles I drove them.

ilmor Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Yeah it's strange; some guys have had wear and some not. I still ride on my original BFG's w/ 10K+ miles on them and they look fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I only wish that adjusting the toe would have magically kept me from going thru rear tires so quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07SGT Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I still have the original BFG;s also with about 7900 miles and no appreciable wear. However, it is the current SGT suspension settings (springs/shocks) that allow us to "roll" in to a turn rather than turning in to a turn. It is another reason our cars handle so well.
