I didn't find any instructions but I didn't look either. With a few stops only, I guess they barely get seated to the worn discs?

I looked at the discs in daylight yesterday and they have a nice greyish surface from pad material transfer. So I think I will leave it as it is for now.


Next up is alignment tomorrow. The car drives terrible after I installed LCAs, it must have messed up the toe in the rear badly. I'm taking it to a regular alignment shop. I went there yesterday and talked with the guy who will be doing the job. To everything I said he said "no problem", "we only do it accurately here", "we will adjust anything that can be adjusted" and "it takes an hour tops".

I hope I won't regret not taking it to a performance (race oriented) alignment shop. My thinking though, is that I won't spend too much money on an alignment before I know what I want dialled in. Also, since I already know what I want set I don't need expertise advice on the setup (yet), just someone who is proficient in swinging the wrenches.

My goal is -2.5 front and -1.8 rear with 0 toe all round. With this I will do the trackday on the 4th of May and there after see if I want something changed (maybe try to get some tire temperature data and base it on that). There after I can see what problems I may have, and then seek (and pay) for expert advice.
