Yes they're both nitto 555, but the rear ones are new |

Yes the coils we installed prior to my original 19x8.5 all around wheels. I didn't change the setting of these at all just installed the controls arms wrong was told about it from the shop then reinstalled the arms the right way |

Thank you for all the info, the SPC arms seemed to be a quality part, I just don't need them with my 9.5 rear wheels. My issue is now with the stock arms not the SPC ones. |
Why all the hate on Megan coils, I've installed these on my car, my wife's FRS and my friends FRS and had no issues so far. My friends set up is very similar to mine with 19x9.5 square but 225/35 tires all around, dropped like mine and his car drives right. It seems the con census is get another alignment, I'll swap out the inner bushings and get another alignment, hopefully this will fix the issue thanks for everyone's input so far. Would having different size tires effect this or the fact that the fronts are older than the rears?

Age and stagger should not produce such insane difference. Your choice of tire size paired with an alignment guy that slacked at his/her job produced such issue. On top of that, your tire pressure is still high. Don't get offended by people ragging on your setup. You chose to go down this route so you should expect compliments and criticism alike.

What tire size would you recommend? My friend is running 225/35 all around on 19x9.5 wheels and stock control arms and the same Megan coils. His car drives fine. That's why I'm at a loss should I try the same tire size as his but that's a little more aggressive stretch. |
Also what tire pressure do you recommend as well?

Make sure your toe settings are dialed to 0" all around. If you want some rear end stability, dial in 1/32" total rear toe-in (1/64" on each side). These settings will have to be check every time you install suspension components. If you want to put in the SPC LCAs, then get the alignment done afterwards. Make sure you watch the guy doing it and ensure he/she is getting that specific setting in. Modification will increase the response of the car, but that also means any imperfections in setup will be magnified. You are basically taking away the buffer zone that the OEM guys dialed in. Quote:

Since you didn't touch them though, I would bet it's the alignment. Did they adjust the toe at all when playing with camber? If so, putting the stock arms back on will likely have thrown your toe way out. |
