Can you post your full alignment specs?

What kind of camber plates do you have? When were they installed? Can you post a pic of them to show their orientation?
The ball joints were stiff to the point i couldnt move them by hand at all. I didn't print the alignment but off the top of my head its: front camber, both -2.5, 0 toe, 6.2 degrees caster. rear toe 0, -1.9-2.0 degrees camber both sides. i've only had the race comp engineering tarmac 2 and race comp camber plates installed for about a thousand miles and didnt have any issues before doing the roll center and bump steer kit. i haven't heard any pops/clunks or noticed any binding. I drove the car for a good bit today and it seems to be getting better? but it might just be in my head.
