At any rate, looks good and hope you break them in better than I did.
Thanks for the deal Mars... the springs have been great so far

Auto Innovations told me aggresive front negative camber would increase tire wear so thats why I have -.06





I need it realigned because its been pulling to the left after a rallyx I drove in...plus its been making weird clunks and thunks too. The SAI and caster on the right is messed up due to a previous accident (not me ).

What should I set it to? I do not want jacked up tire wear (already been down that road)

Setup is prodrive springs and kybgr2 struts, F&R steel endlinks, 20mm rear sway and steering rack bushings.

i have same suspension as you matt, and i just went to ai as well. tell them to dial in max negative camber in the front. with prodrives, the max is like -1.5 anyway, which is close to the rear static camber. aggressive camber that will cause that much tire wear is like -2.0 and beyond. youll have nothing to worry about with -1.5. besides, its toe that causes more adverse tire wear.

AI is just to far and Im worried about the noises Im taking it to Alignment Services in WC to look at everything since its only 10 min away. Hopefully nothing is b0rk3d, Ive already replaced the front right control arm and tie rod ends.

So max neg camber up front....should I leave the rear the way it is? I have a whiteline adj. rear bar waiting to be put on too.

unless you have aftermarket rear camber bolts, you cant change the rear, it doesnt come stock with camber bolts. but if you do have rear camber bolts then get like -1.0 to -1.2. your front will definitely come out to about -1.5 if yout ell them to "max it out but make it the same on both sides" ie cross camber = zero.

I dont know what to do....fix car or sell car..? Tech said possible bowed strut for the right front camber....he didnt know if he could get it back to specs so I said to leave as is for now.

What should I do?
