Alright got another update.
So I provided them with these instructions, tell me what you guys think of the comment(I honestly don't know what that means.... explain like I'm 5 I thought you adjust camber with camber plates?) about the negative front camber. From the looks of it, it looks he pretty much got close to where I wanted to be A different guy did it this time. Tell me what you guys think. Heres the before. And here's my after/current. The only question I have is that, my before alignment settings(The one above) are different than my previous post after it got aligned the first time, is it not supposed to stay the same?

seeing as they were able to get the after to -2.1, i assume they figured out you had adjustable top mounts. your settings may have changed from the previous time if the suspension had "settled" a little after having been driven around for a bit (i.e. your coilovers were brand new and you had the car aligned immediately after install the first time). looks like they got lazy with the rear toe and said good enough once it was "within range." i'm not a big fan of the 'lifetime' alignments, but i did not have the greatest experiences with them. |

Oh my god...I just looked at the sheet when @Lust was like Whats up with that rear toe and I noticed how much a difference it is from the left and right side...... .13 difference
How hard is it to do an alignment? Can I just go under my car and fix it myself or is it a lot harder than that? I honestly want them to do it since I just threw 200 bucks at these guys. |

You can absolutely do it yourself without spending money on tools, but it takes a lot of time, precision and patience. |

To me, it looks like the firestone guys are kind of lazy. Next time ask them if any of their guys are certified by Hunter since they're using their machine.
On the difference of toe, looks like suspension settled. If one was toe out and the other was toe in then the alignment guy wasn't paying attention and pulled on the rack a bit crooked. With the note on saying the top strut bolt hole needs slotted, sounds like he's just going by the recommendations from the alignment machine and either didn't mess with or didn't even look at the top hats. I'll throw my car on the rack this weekend just for curiosity on what Hunter recommends for adjusting camber

I did get a set of initial measurements before I started swapping parts and found some slightly unexpected numbers on camber, especially in the back. I have a sneaking suspicion on why, which makes me glad I got the equipment to do this myself... These lovely alignment sheets I see sure help me feel slightly better. |

And the rear toe links need to be torqued to like 75 ft-lbs, I was under torquing mine and they were slipping on me most of last year. I pretty much budget at least half a day to measure and tweak something and then measure it again. That's the advantage of those fancy alignment racks, they can tweak while measuring and knock it out in an hour or so. |
