Couple questions, do you have camber bolts on the front(also called crash bolts)?
You have adjustable rear arms, and they didnt even adjust the rear camber!
What are you looking to do with the car? Track, autox, canyon, drag etc
I can go more in depth, but tell us what you want first so we can give helpful info. |

Shutter I rarely drive in the mountains. I mainly only commute to work and back, and to the beach on the weekends and roadtrip from socal to fresno once or twice a month. So performance wise I dont need anything too spectacular. I want the tires to last as long as possible and not be dangerous. One thing i DONT want is something thats less performance oriented camber/toe wise than it was stock. i have no idea if its worse than stock now, but i honestly cant feel any difference driving to work. Any suggestions you may have woudl be great. The car will never see a track, autox, drag or anything race related. Its only been on a mountain pass twice since I've owned her and it was on stock suspension. I dont need it to be any better than stock, although I wouldn't mind if the tires will still last a long time. I cant afford to buy tires every 25000 miles. ALSO. I the front ST coils are slotted. No camber bolts required.

Fizzr To be honest. Even I know how to adjust the camber. I had to adjust it enough to drive home after installing the coilovers without destroying my tires. But yea they were supposed to adjust everything. They said the rears were within spec. Although "spec" is an insanely large range. I dont really know what it all means though to be honest. All i know is the car tracks straight, however my steering wheel isnt straight. Which I can't believe they thought they could get away with.
Im taking it back there tomorrow to get it sorted out. quick responses on what i should actually do about alignment and final specs would be greatly appreciated so I can actually tell them what i want.
