"How-To" Get Your Lowered SHO Back Into OEM Alignment Specs...

I recently installed the Megan Racing Coilovers on my 2011 SHO and picked up the 84130 rear alignment bolts to get everything back within spec.  I am taking my car in tomorrow for an alignment and will have the 84130s installed on the rear then.  BPD said he didn't have to use any special bolts up front to get within alignment specs so I think your don't need to worry about that.  I will let you know how it goes tomorrow.  -Jeremy

Took the SHO in for an alignment today post Megan Coilover install.  I drove the car for about a week to let things settle before taking it in.  I purchased the SPC 84130 adjustable rear cam bolts and the mechanic didn't mention any issue with using them.  I have not looked at the bolts and nuts post install but the mechanic didn't mention and issues with the nuts being too tall as was the case with the 81280 part number.  The shop also adjusted the ride height on all four corners to match pre alignment.  The mechanic was able to get everything but the rear drivers side camber within spec and that is only out of spec by 1/10th of a degree so I am not too worried about it.  Also, had the shop rotate the tires since I had been driving out of alignment for a week or so while things settled.  Hopefully, I can add a few notes to the Megan Coiliver install thread to clear up a few confusing points I ran into while installing the coilovers...nothing major but some things that could definitely save future installers some time.  -Jeremy

Just as an FYI to anyone who wants to check camber at home to see where they stand this is a method i've used for years and proves to be relatively accurate.

after letting my springs settle for a few hundred miles i came up with these angles. i think these are all within spec(barely on the PS front).


can anyone verify the spec on rear camber?
OP states -1.2 as max neg camber angle and Jeremy s. photo lists -1.8

and of course . . photos in this thread need fixed lol

Thanks for the pic Z. Are those specs from a Ford dealer or where? looks like they had to adjust your toe a little as well?

I have one 84130 camber bolt(didn't realize there was 1 to a box instead of 2) but doesn't look like i'll need it anyway. I'm in a pretty good range in the rear after fullly adjusting the stock spindle bolt. Before adjusting it i was over -2.2* in back on both sides.

@ Colorado-SHOBro Correct from the Ford Dealer. Z

I took my car with new tires to get aligned today. I included the camber bolts 81280. They didn't work. The lobe doesn't make contact on the inside of the hole. I went ahead and ordered the 84130. Hopefully it does the trick.

Any chance you can measure the bolts And post some pics ?

I would if I could find my calipers

Got the 84130 in the mail. Look at the length difference. Also, the cammed lobe is much longer in the 84130.

My guy just install these and they worked beautifully.
They were definitely needed in my case.

Maybe I missed it in the thread... But was there a final good part number available for rear camber bolts for the 13+ MKS? Something obviously long enough and with enough adjustment for the H&R sport springs. Any direction, links is appreciated. Thanks

SPC84130 are the correct length for SHO/MKS applications.

Thanks man. At almost 25 per bolt just wanted to be sure it was the right set for the 13 MKS. 👍
