The bottom line: with modified suspension, like yours, you can't trust the alignment done by your average Firestone shop
In my particular case "in-spec" alignment meant out of whack camber with excessive inner tire wear accompanied by annoying bump steer
lowering does not change the specs.
ford specs are crap so you will most likely have some edge wear issues.
post up your specs if you have them. i can tell you ifit is good or not
Lowering your ride heighth will change all the facets of an alignment. It alters the Toe, Caster, Camber and Bumpsteer. All should be redone by a quality specialist frontend shop. I'd also recommending CC plates as well as a bumpsteer kit. Think that is too much dough, think in terms of the additional tire wear problems, shock valve damage and generally an unstable frontend. All of which will cost you more dough in the end by cutting this corner.
You got him confused. Lowering the car does not change the specs Ford specified. Yes the alignment of your car can change from it being lowered.
After re-reading his post, you could be right. Although it was explained in somewhat of a confusing manner to me.Makes sense though, now that you point it out.
What is "in spec" for camber measurements? Mine is sitting at -1.4* right now. I've ordered some camber bolts to get it closer if needed.
you will have inner edge wear issues.
some 18mm cam bolts will help you get some better wear from your tires. i like to have no more than -0.8 camber on my car
