Quick question/advice on MM C/C Plates

[eliteJAE]

So im about to install MM C/C plates on my 99 GT. When I'm done, how can i align it by myself at home so i can at least get it to the alignment shop?? i dont want it to be so out of alignment that i mess something up on the way to the shop. Is there any write-up or specs somewhere on safe recommended settings so i can go get it done professionally?

any input welcome

eh, dont worry, if your going from your house to the shop, your tires are going to take any beating. plus, mine wasnt off that bad when i did it. so i hardly doubt yours will be bad either.

the reason i ask is because the best shop available to me is 60 miles away

shops in town wouldnt know what to do with these plates, theyd probably say they dont work and try to sell me something else..

icic, well, call around, make sure you ask them if they can do the alighnment on lowered cars WITH MM CAMBER PLATES, and make sure you bring them the directions. and if worst comes to worst with thread wear, swap your rear tires with your front tires.

they are VERY easy to align with.

tell them to use the following specs

Camber -0.5 both sides
Caster LF 5.5 RF 6.0
Toe factory spec

dont worry about messing with it at home. it will not wear that fast. if you drove 600 miles you may have some issues

So I should be good for a 60 mile drive? I live in a small ass chit town so there's no one I would trust here with these. Next best place is in Tucson which is 60 miles up.

Thanks for the specs BTW, I'll make sure they get these specs in place

NP those specs will give you MUCH better wear than the factory crap.

be sure to post up the alignment printout so i can make sure everything looks ok!
