"Passed" means it was somewhere within the wildly variable range of allowable specs. Nowhere close to an optimum setup for handling. And if you changed springs and didn't get another alignment, then that's a fail as well.

It'll go down the road fine enough, but you're losing a lot of feel and performance. |

So the fact that you're asking these questions sort of proves out the assumption made by others (and myself, tbh) that your experience/ability to tell what's good or bad is lacking. Not a slam - just stating what seems to be obvious. And yes, the factory alignment specs are decidedly less than optimum for handling. The tradeoff is better tire wear, less tendency to tramline, more braking stability, etc. But if you want a car that responds well to steering input, those other qualities will suffer. |

You have some homework to do. If you don't know what an alignment is, that's the first place to start. Look up camber, toe, caster, and how each one has an effect on the way a car handles. Do that, tell us what you learned, then we can move on to the next step. Don't even say a single word about your "next build".

I made fun of the rear strut bar BUT the front strut bar is a different matter. Myself and many others have commented on a marked difference in feel after having a front strut bar fitted. This post sums it up well: Quote:

Suggestion to get some decent(not entry level) brake pads and brake fluid, and add some camber(2++) up front with some camber bolts and you should have a good base for the track. |
