I just wanted to pat myself on the back for doing my own front end alignment on my 86 gt vert. And one heck of a nice job I might add. With the many threads on various Mustang sites, and making some cool tools, it really wasn't that hard. Got the front tracking with the rear using a laser level. Toe in at .062, and camber set at -.70. Since the car is lowered about 2 inches and no CC plates I needed camber bolts. I can't remember my stang riding this nice. So if you have a little patience for the first time, and some mechanical skills I highly recommend doing this yourself. Frustrating at first, but was having way to much fun as I got into it. I just had to tell someone. Thanks for listening.
Here's the tool for toe adjustment


and one for camber

I did my own alignment too. It's notmhard, but the mustang is easy to do it on.

I wouldn't do it on my daily driver though
