For those coming to this thread for DD alignment advice, figured I'd share mine that I'm finally happy with.

No two alignments are the same, but my advice for all the DD drivers with new coilovers is that these are the important things to aim for:

- unless you're a racecar don't go zero toe in the rear, you'll get micro bouncing at hwy speeds (kinda like if your rear tires are unbalanced)

- rear should be toe-in'd until your overall toe is in the center to avoid the above.

- getting overall toe in the centre of factory spec also applies to the front

- having -2 camber in rear but -0.5 camber in front gives you a very heavy/dull steering feel. (ie. my first alignment before the camber bolts)

- either dial in more camber in the front than rear or aim for close to even all around. This gives your a very balanced handling that I would say is like OEM but better, because camber goood.

- lastly, don't worry about every little variance in the numbers, below is an example of close enough for DD.

Good luck, and spend the extra bucks finding a good shop that will work with you.

(No LCA in the rear yet, so couldn't even it out anymore)
