I have the Steeda Heavy Duty Front Upper Strut Mounts (555-8120) and was wondering if it is possible to take advantage of the adjustability when at the track.

They are presently set to 3/4 degree negative camber as the car is a daily driver.

Is it possible at the track to loosen the bolts off and then move them to increase the negative camber to whatever the maximiume is it will give. Then once the track day is overmove them back to 3/4 degree negative. If it is possible how doI know both sides move to the same camber angle.

They have pointer indicators at the open hole in the front of the strut tower, if your car is already at 3/4 negative ....you can take a sharpie and make a dot on the strut tower ...then have it aligned for - 1.5 or what ever the max is then mark it again with your sharpie , so you will have points to choose from when ever your at the track or daily driver .

I currently have these coming in the mail. Are adjustments made by loosening the 4 strut mount nuts under the hood or by the strut to spindle bolts?

Basically I'm asking the for procedure for adjustment.

The four strut mount bolts under the hood.

The only issue is that toe will change as well (not sure for the better or worse at the moment). -1.5 is not radical for a daily driver and is within Ford specs. Last year, I had mine set at -1.75 and there was plenty of room to go more.

To move them after loosening the 4 bolts under the hood do I have to have the weight off the front wheels?

They move really easily with the weight off, maybe too easily. I imagine they can still be moved with the weight on but I have never tried. You may be able to move them using the tab visible in the strut tower opening. The plate is pretty thick.

do it with the weight on the wheels. I use a 12" prybar. A stout screwdriver works well too.

you will need a set ot toe plates and a tape measure too.

A local shop here in Houston strongly recommended against adding more camber for track days because of the additional toe out. He felt it would make the car hard to drive. I thought it would just make the car turn in better to go with my mAd SkIlLz!

I can only get about 1 degreeof negative camber with my Steeda HD strut mounts and Eibach prokit. I might install camber bolts also to get more negative camber. They move a lot easier with the car jacked, but you can still adjust them with weight on wheels.
