Added oil to motor and jump started it. Then let the battery charge for 30mins. Getting it prepped to take it to the shop in the next few weeks.

Roger Krause racing was very respectful and gave me a clear route to what to do next. So because Subaru doesn't have rear adjustable lateral links... I'm forced to probably buy Cusco parts since they seem to make them right for my generation... (FML here the expensive part comes

Picked the car up from Mert after having my 600 mile oil change and inspection of the rebuild. Compression on all 4 cylinders was at 150 and leak down was at 0%. Seems to be in great shape! Also fixed a oil issue from the catch can to turbo inlet that was resulting in me fogging for mosquitoes!

)I would say your car is fine for now unless you are trying to get some crazy alignment setup for autocross or track use.

There's no adjustablility on the Legacy/GR/GH without them. So you're stuck at one alignment which may be too little or too much since it's a multilink rear. There is a bushing you can get on the banana up top but... the lateral links are better.

Camber doesn't kill tires. Toe does.
What are you saying is too much?
If its anything -2.5 or under in the rear for camber then I wouldn't consider that a problem.

Pretty much why I need them because if you saw the inside of my tires... You'd be like damn did you slam your car? And its only a 1" drop. So I need to get them to fix it and just buy new wheels/tires soon..
I'll post my sheet up once I'm out of SF I'm here doing a photoshoot for client and I'm waiting for them to organize their stuff.
