Does it matter that Dazecars recomends setting Caster then setting Camber, and everyone else says to do Camber first?. Im going back in to install new isulators and wonder?
Offline
I always advise setting caster then camber. No other way to do it without chasing your tail.
The KYB shocks won't effect your ride height. They are actually the shocks I run. The regain the lost height a taller spring isolator or new springs are the only options.

I rolled the lips some more and added Gas a just. No more rub.

Or move the spring perch 1"

A home alignment is fairly straightforward and the necessary tools are easy to make. Se my tips post on it:

New update
Decided to check and re Aline the front just to be sure and here is where we are without adding the 3/8 insulators on top. New KYB shocks and a little more fender rolling. NO RUB
Camber Caster
R 3.8 -.2
L 3.8 0.0
Toe 1/8" total
The car drives as nice as my 04 F150

Hoping you got caster and camber confused there...

This is what I used to regain some height after the Shelby drop dropped a little more than I wanted. There are other advantages to this perch move also.

For sure!! Better motion ratio, ability to run lighter springs ... it's a lot like the drop, free and it works.

What or how do you do the perch mount move? just curious

Take the spring perches out and drill some new mounting holes 1 inch toward the ball joint. There is now a template for it to get it as exact as possible at opentrackerracing.com. There are roller bearing spring perches to maximize movement. Roller bearing Perches are supposed to free up and ease spring and shock movement. The move will raise the car slightly and increase spring stiffness. Somewhere on Dazecars site it tells about how much the spring rate should increase but I can’t find it right now. Daze cars has a Mustang Suspension 101 page that has more information than you really want to know. Joking, it’s good stuff.

All good info from Muzz. According to John from Opentracker, it'll change the spring rate by 100-125 lbs.
If you're in need of arms, John will drill his arms, and also offset the shaft, if needed, for free.
Nice people.
