I was just hoping someone could tell me what the factory amount of negative camber the BOSS has dialed in from the factory. It might tell me in the owners manual but I am stuck at work right now and would really like to know. Thanks!

I believe someone had their's tested when they first got it and said it was -0.9 degrees of camber at the front wheels in stock form.

That was me....-.95 to be exact. I have -1.7 now and it's a big improvement on the track.

Camber plates or bolts?

Eccentric bolts in the lower strut.

I bet, Ford's usual process for setting up additional camber on the
Mustang just seems to be letting the ride height determine the additional camber (I noticed this in the factory manual, cars that sat lower had a bit more negative camber)

Anyways, cloud, where did you get your DBA rotors? I plan on going with the same combo (5000/4000) when I get the new pads and fluid change.

I appreciate it cloud.

Gary, help me out here. I went to your revanracing link and could not find any listing for DBA 5000 or DBA 4000 rotors. Any help? Are you running the same Hawk DTC 60/70 pads you list for your GT500 on your Boss setup as well? (Or perhaps you are using PFC-01 pads which are not listed in you Boss modifications but mentioned in another thread?) What would you think of these Hawk pads (or whichever ones you are using) mated with the OE rotors? Is there an incompatibility issue?

And finely where did you purchase the lower strut eccentric bolts to obtain the negative camber?

Thanks!

Glenn

napa auto parts should carry the bolts or I see them on fleebay from time to time

What do I exactly look for? Size & length. Thanks

Yep our brakes are the same as my 07 GT500. Same rotors and pads will work with both cars.

What are others opinions on running the Hawk DTC 60/70 brake pads on the OE rotors? Will the pads "wear" the rotors more quickly due to more metallic (or ceramic?) material content? What is the track experience with the OE Ford pads and/or how do they compare with the Hawks or other aftermarket pads for occasional track use?

Glenn

tell them what car you have and that you want camber/ eccentric bolts.

i found these.

You can run them on the OE rotors, but you end up mixing pad compounds. You would need to bed them and "clean" them each time you switched for maximum braking effectiveness. http://www.essexparts.com/learning-c...rs/post/Bed-in

Yes they will wear the OE and any other more quickly. The DTC pads (especially the 70s up front) are VERY aggressive.

The OE Ford pads are fine for occasional track use, but it depends on how fast you want to go. I can tell you from first hand experience running both setups back to back that the braking with the stock setup is much "softer" and requires greater distance. There was a 4 second per lap difference between stock and my setup between the brakes and wheels and tires. If I had to "guess" I'd attribute it to be 50% wheels/tires and 50% brakes, but if anything it was more the difference in braking. It was definitely noticable. I tend to drive "flat out" so if you don't drive as aggressively it won't make much difference. This short vid is a must see if you haven't seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7iUKaPlBl8

Thanks Gary! I talked to Van this morning about the pads/rotors and told him you sent us his way. He was appreciative.
He did say as you indicate above the DTC 70's on the front are aggressive. Perhaps (as I misunderstood your posting trailer) you might change the listing to Hawk DTC 70/60. I interpert that as 70's in the front and 60's in the rear. You currently have it listed as 60/70. Just a suggestion....

Great!
Now I understand the F/R nomenclature....

That's funny. Is that a typical GT 2 owner?
