So these HPM Performance plates are on my 86 GT autocrosser and I took
it to a very good alignment shop looking for -3 deg. camber, and 4+
degs. of caster with 1/8 to 1/4 toe out.
What I left with was -2.25 deg camber and +2 deg caster at 3/16 toe out.
The reason the caster is so low is the top of the strut rod hits against
the tower round hole cut out. There is PLENTY of room on the slots to
move it further, but not without hitting the tower hole edge.
I seem to remember hearing it was OK to increase the slot lenth with a
die grinder, but NOT the tower hole. Is this correct? I could benefit
greatly by egg holeing the tower hole with a die grinder and leaving a
large relief radius. Any suggestions? Go ahead and grind it open (using
some sense and not opeing it 6")duh. ? Or, live with what you got ????
Thanks
Grinder(?) Ron
