I'm at Dallas Frame & Alignment now and they said the same thing that it's not level. Basically they said adjustable coilovers are the only solution. With as much forum browsing I've done over the last year I've never heard of this. They also said the last 4 Mustangs had the same problem.

They did my alignment in 2012 when i installed new struts/shocks & springs.
No mention of the car not being level.

You might not have that problem. At least they were able to get me aligned.

Yeah I stopped by ford on the way home. The guy just blew it off pretty much assuming it was within tolerance. It's whatever I guess... Yeah coil overs is a solution. Also they said they bend the sway bar sometimes. Or get a 3 way adjustable sway bar and off set the holes.

Yes. Call and ask for Kevin. He'll take good care of you. He got mine within spec without camber bolts. I need to go back since its been about a year. This time I'll bring a set of camber bolts with me.

GIO Tire Shop on Cooper in Arlington did mine after I installed the Steeda springs. The only thing that needed adjustment was the toe.

The place doesn't look super impressive from the curb, but every employee seems to own a drift car or an autocross bandit. They do good work.

I went back to Muffler King a couple of months ago when I got my new wheels. I also added a new set of Koni Orange shocks and struts recently and I knew the front end would need to be adjusted.

The camber was waaaaay off after I put everything together. The stance was so bad I was expecting to hear some loud-ass woofers and see a fart-can muffler sticking out of the back. Kevin at MK got everything back in spec and didn't charge that much - less than $75.

Also what I like about that place is that they always seem have a 65-68 Pony on a lift doing work on it when I go there. It also isn't much to look at on the outside and it's in Garland, Texas...and it may look like Zombies destroyed it but it's just Garland.

COBB tuning in Plano has the right tools for 4 wheel alignment and camber adjustment.

Get a camber gauge from Maximum Motorsports for 75 bucks, some string and jackstands and knock it out. Easy. There are links all over the place. Level a place in the garage and do it. Patience required but a shit ton cheaper than alignments all the time if you're dicking around with camber. My $0.02.
