Was wondering if someone has an after alignment chart (with the -5 degree camber in the rear) for there ST with eibach springs? I wanted to show it to my alignment shop just to give them an idea of where they need to adjust. I know every ride is different just want to give them an idea, thanks in advance!

It’s -.5° and the decimal is extremely important.
if they don’t know where to adjust after the car has been out for over 5 years I’m not sure I’d trust them to begin with but it’s the upper control arm where it bolts to the frame. They’ll have to reach up high. After that it’s just a normal alignment.

It’s -.5 degrees, and everything else is OE specs. Show them this sheet and make sure they adjust this bolt. IMG_4168.png

Additional question, if I am keeping stock wheels and 285s no spacers, I'm guessing its my choice to adjust the rear to -.5 now after I install my eibachs or should I just keep factory specs until I get correct spec wheels and tires?

Do it now, the alignment doesn’t care about what wheels you have.

Yeah I will I just wanted to see if its do-able with stockers due to the tire not being as wide as for example 305s on a 10.5 wheel compared to 285s on a 9 wheel. Just me overthinking is all. I haven't really looked to see if anyone is doing the -.5 camber adjustment in the rear with stock wheels and tires, well 285s in my case. Just didn't want it to handle differently in the rear. I know there will be more of a contact patch just was concerned I guess, I mean there's a reason Ford added slightly more rear camber in the rear for cornering and what not.
