What do you need for a camber adjustment when lowering the Mustang? Do you just adjust something on the factory camber plate, or do you need to purchase a new camber plate? Also, does it make a difference if the vehicle is lowered only an inch (Roush), or 1.5 inches (Eibach)?

Doboth the front andrear need adjustment, or just the front? The camber plates I've been looking at on-line are usually just for the front wheels, so I wasn't sure if the rear wheels needed adjustment too or not.

Lastly, anyone lower their Mustang without a camber adjustment? Did you have any issues by not doing this?

There is no factory camber adjustments.
You need to buy camber bolts or camber plates.
The best choice would be camber bolts because they are cheaper and generally give enough adjustment.

The rear is a straight axle, no adjustment needed for that small of a drop. If it was a big drop then I would reccomend pinion shims. Not needed in your situation

so whats the difference? what would i need my fronts are off by a hair, cant really tell but still sort of bugs me.

There is room for some play....meaning there is not a specific angle for camber.....it is a range. I think I bought the first type since the Roush drop is mild. It's inexpensive, so just get them and let the tire shop check it and install them if needed.

what would the stock specs be? Mine seem pretty negative with the BMR springs. How could I measure it in my driveway or do I need to bring it somewhere with a laser alignment?
