Looking for alignment shop drag race setup
I use the 14-130's for both street and strip with great results.....
Well your gonna get into this guy said this, that guy said that one this one I can promise you that.
But.....rule of thumbs usually are around this for drag race setups.
-.5 to -.8 on the camber
3 to 4 on the caster
1/16 in total toe in
Again this question will probably arise alot of differant theroies so sit back and enjoy the ride.
Ride height is hard to determine over the internet. Alot of factors play into that. Just play with it till you find what works.

Those are good numbers to use IMO.....
Lot of the 3200 lb cars seem to run the 14-175's.
At least they're easy to swap out. And I need to start somewhere

What is basically a good rule of thumb for ride height. Becuase as soon as you move the height, your also moving the alignment no?
Aside from it looks cool the way it sits high
Does the car need to be level, give it a rake where the rear is higher. This if for a mid 9 second car.

If you move the coil over up lets say a 1/4 to 1/2 inch you wont be too far off. But if you start moving the coilover over those numbers then yes your really going to start to see some alignment changes.
If you set the car level when you do the alignment then decided to rasie the ass end to get some rake your caster will also change along with it.
I know Mustangs look sexy as hell sittin low and level but its not always the best option unless the car was built that way (4 link rear, tubbed wheels wheels tuckin the tires)
Like this: http://image.musclemustangfastfords....front_view.jpg
Too many people buy coilovers and set them as low as possible then can not figure out why they will not hook

What kind of suspension you working with in the back?
