Whelp, as of 4/30 the RCE Coilovers, SPC LCAs, and all Whiteline bushings have been installed. Pressing out the old bushings was a big pain in the ass, even with less than 10,000 miles on the car there are signs of rust and I'm glad some of those parts have been replaced. The SPC Toe bushings absolutely had to go in. When we got everything installed and did the first toe measurements in the rear I had about 1.5" Toe Out and that's when we determined the Toe Bushings had to go in and now I'm sitting at about 1/8" Toe In without a laser alignment.

First driving impressions are that they were worth every penny. The coils feel great, slightly stiffer than stock, but not overly rigid. I'm excited to get a performance alignment and was thinking of just going with something within RCEs recommended settings (Camber: -1° F, -1.7° R; Toe: 0 F, 1/16th Rear; Caster: 6.5° F), but I'm not an expert and open to suggestions for a car that's a weekend toy on stock wheels.

Now that the springs are settled it's dropped about 1 & 1/8" in the front and 1" in the rear
