Does anyone know where I can get good alignment specs for road racing use? Corvette sites post specs for those cars to take out some of the factory built in understeer but I'll be damned if I can find specs for our Mustangs. I specifically would like to know a good camber and toe setting. I'm not really worried about tire wear since I'm eating a set of tires at the track about every six sessions anyway. I'm sure Steeda has specs for road racing their cars but they're not talking.

I have a daily driver that I take to the track every once in a while. I got a shop to dial in -1.5 front camber with stock toe and caster (note you'll need aftermarket parts to do that (Steeda)). It feels better on the street and there's no un-even tire wear. I haven't been able to take it to the track yet. At neutral throttle and low speeds the car still tends to understeer with stock swaybars, but as the speeds go up it will go more towards oversteer, like I said I haven't been to the track yet with the changes. Plus today I'll be installing the FRPP rear swaybar, keeping the front stock, that should help the tail come out! Of course you have a completely different setup than me (or anyone else for that matter) if I were you I'd start with -1.5 to -2 of front camber, see how you like it and fine tune it from there. Be warned though any more than that and you'll be hurting the inside of your tires during freeway cruising.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I'll start at -1.5 and go from there.
