    help with bad Negitive camber

    Have you moved the car yet? The suspension might not have settled after being in the car so long. Also, are the tires tilted in at the top, or are the front of the tires closer to each other than the rears are? Just trying to see if the toe was off instead of the camber.

    $700 dollars what would you do?

    I'd do suspension and brakes. What's the fun of driving a classic Mustang if it isn't fun to drive?
