Eibach Marauder dropped springs alignment issues

[Rickey1976]

Ok.I installed the Eibach Marauder pro kit springs on my car last year and had the front end lined up,the first alignment shop failed to tell me that I needed more camber so my tires wouldnt wear on the insides.I put my new tires on over the weekend and because my others were badly worn on the inside edge.I took it to my alignment guy this morning to have it corrected so I wouldn't wear my new tires.He calls a few minutes ago and says he couldnt get it set where it needed to be because of the dropped springs.Any tricks anyone know of besides having to go back to stock.I hate to wear these brand new tires,and I hate to have to tear it all apart again.But oh well thats how the world goes around.My car is a 2003 CVPI.Anyone run into these probs?All i need is about 1.0 degree more camber.

The 2003+ have a quite a bit of camber adjustment via their rotating cam bolts that are located at the foward pivot bushing of the lower control arms. Caster is adjusted by loosening the lower arm rearward pivot bushing nut and moving the are in/out.

Your issue may be ... worn suspension components. *Though the shop should have checked that 1st before attempting an alignment.
the smaller tires. *Your 18" GTs have the smaller diameter Mustang tires
the shop doesn't know what it's doing.
a combination of all/any of the above.

Dropping the car will make getting back to factory specs difficult if not impossible. I had to settle for having the caster on the high side to get the camber in a little more and even at that the best I could do was -1.1. I am maxed out on both adjustments. If you remove the bolt that the camber is adjusted with and grind the slot in the crossmember so it extends towards the motor you may be able to get just a tiny bit more. Also dropping the rear end and reducing the forward rake seems to help too.
