Help me pick my suspension upgrades
#11
I find this hard to believe. I also used to DD my stang and went through 2 sets of tires running -1.5 and the wear on the inside of the tires, even with religious rotating front to back, was extremely apparent. I even backed down to -1.2 and you can still tell the tires wear faster on the inside.

This is truth.
With a 'factory' alignment, I would get significantly greater wear on the outside edges of the tires, even rotating regularly.
With -1.8º (which is what I'm also currently running), I get pretty even wear on the street, but I still see a bit more outside tire wear on my AutoX tires.
That being said, I'll be pushing it up to the -2.5-3.0º range this spring for AutoX, which will probably end up with more inside tire wear for my street tires, but that's a compromise I'm going to try out this year.

Almost anybody should be able to live with Ford's preferred camber setting of -0.75°. Only the gentlest driver (gentle? in a Mustang???) driving only on the Interstates should legitimately need less than that.
How you drive, indeed.

Installed a set of Koni STR.Ts with GT500 mounts and a set of Eibach Sportlines. I'm definitely satisfied with the look, but i hope they're not too low. Just need to adjust the new panhard bar and get the car aligned still. Took a quick cruise around town, car seems to ride well maybe even better than stock, just seems smooth. I guess I'll find out more during my normal commute.
Here's a couple before and after pics.
