I think you should do an alignment and the bolts will help with that. As stated, they're only $30 so it's not like you're breaking the bank to get more proper tire wear.

Thank you again for the advice...I ordered the camber bolts..$35 isn't much to pay to make it right

I appreciate everyone on this board...Awesome

Can anyone tell what's the correct camber setup, degree value ?
I'm not taking my car to Ford dealer so I need to be able to tell the correct values.

I just put the FRPP springs in last week. I also opted to put the camber bolts and the BMR adjustable panhard bar in at the same time.

Glad I had the panhard bar 'cause after the springs the rear had shifted 3/4" to the driver's side.

Didn't need the camber bolts once we got it on the alignment rack, but better to have them there just in case for the future.

You had it checked and the toe was OK? When you lower the car it will tow out, which is hard on tires.

That's a link to some pics of my car. Right now the springs are the only thing done to the suspension. I will be adding an adjustable panhard bar because the axle shifted slightly and I will be getting an alignment in the next week or two because I have noticed my camber is off a little and the front wheels are starting to toe a bit. Nothing bad, but the other mods will help excessive tire wear in the near future.
When I get a little more money saved I will be getting tokico shocks and struts, LCA's, UCA, swaybars and maybe strut tower bars for the front and rear depending on how far I want to go with the suspension.

Same here, my drivers side tire was pointing outward a little, enough to notice by just looking at it, but it still drove straight.
