I want to have an aggressive alignment done on my boss to help with auto-x handling. How does one go about this? Just ask my alignment shop for an aggressive alignment, or is there a set if specs they should follow?

 

I would think they should do something like 2-3 degrees camber and a little toe out for better turn in. Not entirely sure but since stock is 1.3 or so I think 2-3 would be pretty aggressive.

 

Cool i just have never had an aggressive alignment done so i dont even know where to start really so that sounds like a great start thanks.

 

The only thing that you will dislike is that with more camber and toe it will probably feel squirrely on the street, especially in ruts.

 

Noted.. I have also riden in my neighbors 2011 camaro with an agressive type alignment and did notice some groove following on the streets so i knda figured this would be same for the boss.

 

Be prepared to go through front tires quickly

 

Do you have CC plates?

 

Its a bit less, IIRC the Boss is a hair under 1 degree and the LS a hair over.

A good place to visit is Vorshlag's Mustang blog if your looking to see how things work out, the auto-x a 2012 or 2013 GT I believe, in any event I remember reading a few entries about spring rates, shock set-ups and alignment settings.

 

Not typically true. Negative 2-3 degrees of camber will help handling a lot and not significantly affect inside shoulder wear. You have to get drastic to really chew through the tires faster(neg. 5+)

To the OP. I would suggest starting at 2.5 if your running stock/street tires. Maybe go as high as neg. 3 degrees if excessive shoulder scrub is not occurring. Good way to tell...mark the shoulders with some chalk at the wear line on the tire.(see pic) If you scrub away the chalk you can use more camber.

I left toe angles neutral as I don't like the twitchiness and I didn't feel it really helped the car change direction that much better.
