Toe was affected by the camber change and my rear end became super darty -- above 50mph, the rear would want to step out every few seconds. I took a sweeper with a 50mph sign at 45mph and traction control kicked in to yank me in the other direction (I'd normally take this sweeper at 70mph+ with no drama).

I bet my alignment looked like this:

I've never felt more unsafe driving this car, so I parked it at a friend's place down the street from my alignment shop, which I am going to tomorrow.

Did not crash.

I have an '18 PP and wanted to go with the RCE "yellows" but have found mixed opinions on whether adjustable LCAs are necessary with them.

My rear is currently at -1.3 on both sides. Have the springs increased or decreased camber? I was hoping for somewhere between -1.5 and -1.7 with the RCE "yellows" without having to go with aftermarket adjustable LCAs.

I think I had -1.9 and -2.5 after being lowered on RCE Yellows. Ideally you want to dial that rear camber back in.

After my alignment this afternoon, I'm running -1.9 front / -1.6 rear camber and 0 front / 0.05in rear toe-in.

Installed armrest and scosche mount to connect phone with the least cable/wires possible. Plus have it within reach to use it.

What about your passengers wanting to use AC?

Apparently this is lowering springs and alignment week!

Just finished installing SPC camber bolts up front and SPC adjustable LCA’s in the rear. I’m sitting at the alignment shop now. Car felt like an 8 year old boy being forced to clothes shop, dragging its feet the whole way here.

Took it in for the recall on the stereo... Left with a loaner after a few hours. Apparently my stereo didn't want the update and will take a couple of weeks to get a new one in.

Dropped it off at the dealer for the valve spring recall.

They gave me a 2019 Impreza. It's...comfy?

Received the parcel with Rays wheel nuts today. Fantastic.

That has to be a stock photo, no way you got all the logos to line up that well!

I’m afraid that you are right. I have not installed the wheels yet. I will apply a ceramic coating this weekend. Hope to try on the wheels next week.

Nice, look forward to some pics.

I put CQuartz UK 3.0 on my summer wheels and it has made cleaning them so much easier.

Went back to e85 now that I'm settled down in florida. Since my last posting...I've installed a Verus rear diffuser, STi mirror caps, gotten the car ceramic coated, and a Dezod exhaust that will be changed out for an ARK when I can find one.
