[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 15688648, member: 9628"] My local Ford dealership did mine after I had moved my original 10" rear Alcoa's to the front and added the 12" Alcoa's to the rear, so they def. did a staggered set-up. I watched the tech set up the head units that mount to the wheels so that there was no Alcoa damage, and then he dialed it in from under the front of the car on the alignment rack. Really the only reason I went to have an alignment in the fist place is because when Shelby installed the Eibach coilovers in Las Vegas, they left my right front tire tilting out at the top and the left front basically straight up, that always bugged me. So I decided to bring the car in and let the adjust both sides equal (or as equal as possible), and what you see on that chart I added is what they came up with. "If" I would have not put the 10" wide 275 tire Alcoa's on the front, they could have tilted the tires in even more at the top, but as it is right now, with that wide of a rim/tire combo, I can't even slip my index finger between the tire bulge and the Eibach coilover adj. plate, it is that close. But what a big difference it made changing from a 255/9" Alcoa to a 275/10" Alcoa on the front!! Immediately when I pulled out of my driveway and drove up my street I could feel a difference in how the car handled, especially when I drove the car a little more and pressed it into turns. The wider front footprint on a heavy nosed GT500 made a big difference in a positive way, a difference that I was not expecting. R [/QUOTE]
