How much negative camber can you get on the GT350 without camber plates?

[dsm_mikey]

Hello all!

Just picked up my GT350R about a month ago and will be tracking it for the first early July at Road America.

I was told that camber plates were needed to get to Ford's recommended track alignment specs. I did order the Maximum Motorsports camber plates just in case. These camber plates were used at the Track Attack on all of the GT350's.

IF Ford's recommended settings can be achieved without installing the camber plates, I will hold off for the time being...

1. What is the most negative camber that can be achieved without the camber plates?

Ford recommends for the GT350R:

Front: -1.75 Degrees
Caster: 6.92 Degrees
Front Toe: 0.06 In

Rear: -1.25 Degrees
Rear Toe: -0.30 IN


THANKS ALL!!!

Yes camber plates are needed to achieve the Ford recommended track specs. The most I could get without camber plates was about neg 1 degree front. I had the Maximum Motorsport camber plates installed along with recommended track settings and the setup works well on the track. I didn't notice any drawbacks as yet with street driving except the usual tram lining you will get with the Sport Cup 2's. I found any additional wear on the inside is insignificant during street driving. Have Fun at Road America!

Mike, Do you have a part number handy for those camber plates? I need to get some. And do you need rears as well as fronts? May be a stupid question, but I've never added camber plates to anything.

Thanks,
Matt

Thank you for the information...saves me time for set up. I will have the plates put on! Thanks for the help!

Thanks. Professional looking website with detailed instructions. Have you installed yours yet? I ask because their photos show a standard S550 with no strut tower brace. Did you use the their top reinforcing plate?

And rears? Can you get the required negative camber with stock parts?

Appreciate the help!

That's the correct link to what was purchased.

I did not use the top reinforcing plate, it's not necessary just branding.

Rears are not necessary as mine could easily exceed what was needed with stock adjustments.

Only 1 degree stock...that's unfortunate.

Is this for both the standard GT350 and the R model? In other words, can someone confirm if the R can achieve more than 1 degree negative camber without aftermarket camber plates?
