The Mustang has been fun to autocross as is. Eager to run it with suspension and tires.

Our Mustang has faced a challenge most anyone with a project car can understand: back orders.
What parts are we waiting on for our Club Spec Mustang? Camber plates.
Why are they holding up the works? Our plan: Install our upgraded suspension setup–meaning the SCCA-mandated Koni dampers and Eibach springs–at once.
Yes, we can install the camber plates later, but wouldn’t it be nice to do everything in one shot? Install, align, clobber some cones.
Within the SCCA Club Spec Mustang rules, participants can pick between two camber plate suppliers: Maximum Motorsports and BBK Performance.
Sam Strano, one of the minds behind the rules for the class, suggested the Maximum Motorsports camber plates as those are the ones from his original formula. They also carry a lower price tag: $299.97 vs. $419.00 from Strano Performance Parts. (Strano Performance Parts, by the way, carries Club Spec Mustang parts.)
Soon after placing our order, we got the news that the parts were on back order. When would they arrive? Early June.
Early June then turned to mid-June.
Mid-June then turned to mid-July.
Finally, we went back to Sam: To keep the project moving, let’s just go with the BBK pieces.
They’re currently on the truck.
