    Hey Gunslinger,
    My Mav is a fun driver, with suspension mods including: 620#in springs, 68 Mustang lower control arms, 7/8" front sway bar, 3/4" rear sway bar, 4 leaf springs and, for now 14x7 Magnum wheels and street tires. (I am going to replace the wheels and tires to Magnum 500 15x7's front and 15x8's rear. The tires will be Goodyear 225-60x15's front, and 245-60x15's rear). My question is what are your front end settings: caster, camber and toe? I do want to autocross this car. Also drive it on the street.
    Thanks, Ken

    Here's the specs from the align. shop.

    If it is not clear, this is generally what the specs are. It used to be 1 full dgree of neg camber, but the inners of the tires were wearing too quick for me, I had to put on a set of fronts in 2700 mi., some of that may have been due to the toe being off from the accident, but even before that, I had to flip the race tires over after a weekend of on track use. Global West gives their suggested specs when you buy the upper control arms.
    camber= -0.5 degree
    caster = 2.5 degrees
    toe = 0.06''

    With how it is set now, the tires wore very even after this last event.
