Dark Horse wheel alignment specs

[OBDH]

Hi Everyone
I have just installed the Steeda IRS cradle/subfame bush supports and cradle support.
My subframe was about half a bolt hole out when I installed the subframe alignment dowels so I need to get a wheel alignment.
All of my local wheel alignment shops have no specs for the Dark Horse and my local Ford dealer hasn’t heard back from Ford Au.
I done a bit of research and as all I can find is that the DH has slightly different specs to the GT.
Does anyone know where I may be able to find the DH wheel alignment specs for Australia delivered vehicles?
Thanks

Thanks EWAGS
Is the performance pack GT and handling pack specs the same as the Dark Horse ?

Yes, DH without HP would be the same.

Hi OBDH, I received my 24.5 Dark Horse on 5 December last year. One of the first things I did was to check what the delivered suspension geometry readings were. I had been told by my specialist that Australian specs would be different to USA cars. Reason given was that the roads in America are flatter than here. We have more camber build into our roads for water run off.
Like you said there were no specs for Australian 2024 Mustangs at this stage so the nearest for comparison would be the Australian R spec Mustang from a couple of years ago. This was a special model built between Ford Aus and Herrod Performance.
I have attached a hand written file I made up comparing my actual readings found on my new car, the R-Spec Mustang and the USA numbers available on line.
The Toe In on the rear seems big so I will keep and eye on tyre wear. Only 1400 km so far.
Hope this helps you and other Aussie owners.

Dunno about that, the rules governing normal crossfall on straights and super-elevation around curves are pretty std worldwide - any differences would be miniscule i.e. not enough to affect handling.

Driving on the Right hand side of the road vs left hand side of the road would probably be the main difference I guess.
