I'm tired of searching for this because I can't find anything relative to my situation.

- 2004 Mustang gt -

I've got Eibach pro kit springs, QA1 tubular K-Member, MM Camber plates and a Steeda Bumpsteer kit installed and the tech at GoodYear says he cannot move the camber plates any further out (see enclosed pic).

I took the car home and looked at it myself and he's right. I'm out of the adjustment range. I removed the driverside plate and realized that the bumpstop was in the way so I corrected it and that's the reason the driverside had -2.8 deg.
Now both driverside and passenger side are completely maxed out at -1.8 deg. Both plates are installed correctly in "positive orientation". Has anyone else run into this problem and if so, how did you fix it?

I'm thinking I might have to remove the CC plates, widen the four mounting holes in the strut tower enough to allow the base plate to slide towards the fender for more positive camber. The only problem then is the fender will more than likely obstruct the Camber adjustment plate.

Anyone else have a better ideal?

No I've never hit anything.

I just read a post on mustangforums where a few guys had the same problem with their aftermarket CC plates and used CAM Bolts to correct the problem.

I found a set of Eibach cam bolts on stangsuspension.com for $30 that give you about +/- 1.75 degrees of camber adjustment. The other CAM bolt brands only give about 1 degree.

So I'll try them and see if it fixes the problem and let you know how it goes.

I would guess the QA1 K-member must have some extra track width built into it, causing the problem for setting the camber. I don't think -2 deg of camber is a bad thing. You may get some slight wear on the inside of the tires, but if you enjoy making an occasional hard turn, it'll feel nice and wear evenly (especially if you go to an occasional auto-X ). If you do a lot of highway driving and poke around corners like grandma, you'll probably see some slight wear on the inside edge.

I can't believe MM plates aren't giving you enough adjustment. Maybe try a different shop?

get cambolts. i was talking with MM when they were cornerweighting my car and they were saying that cambolts will allow positive camber inbetween the strut and the spindle, while allowing negative camber on the strut to body mount.

The K-member is screwing up the amount of adjustment the MM plates are supposed to be able to give you. The cam bolts should help. FWIW I ran 1.8-2.0 degrees of negative camber and with an all season tire (400aa) I never saw any abnormal wear after 5k miles.
