Hi James:
I am amazed and horrified to hear that about the Cobra. My Mustang's setting
would stay the same for 5 years if I let em. I have Custom Alignment set it up
the way I want for street and autocross and then leave them alone till the
street set wear out. I did bend a caster camber plate a little though. Go
figure. Maybe you need to use a better caster camber plate or much stronger and
higher torqued bolts. Good luck on your new set up. If you need assistance in
getting the right attitude for the suspension let me know.
