Default 65 Coupe Granada Swap Alignment

For those of you who have done the Granada swap, can I just use the standard Mustang alignment settings? If not, what are the optimal settings for the camber/caster/toe for this swap?

I have Granada brakes on my 65 too. These are the specs I used.

Caster: +2.0° to +2.75°
Camber: 0 to -1/2°
Toe: 1/8" In

Are you lowering the front of the car? If so, I would not go lower than 1 inch lowering springs. Thats what I have and it works fine. I have read several tech articles and threads about lowering and negative effects with Granada spindles on 65-66.

Thanks. Yeah, I already have 1" lowering springs, and plan to get something like this some time later. I'll probably upgrade to this kit in a year or two. The only reason I have the granada setup is because it was already in the donor car I used for parts. I know it's not the greatest, but it worked in the donor car when I drove it home.

I actually plan on keeping the Granada setup. I am really happy with it.
