Well I finally got a decent alignment done(without them curbing my front bumper!), that was a long wait. The tech knew his stuff and put up with me insisting on certain camber and toe angles. I am not unhappy with the Showa suspension but if I did it all over again I would have gotten coilovers at this point, mainly due to the room between the body of the car and the sway bar endlinks, and the room from the tire to the spring. I could not run anywhere near as much camber as I wanted after getting top hats(only at -1.4, end link is almost rubbing body). The ride is firmer than stock, it's noticeable and it doesn't beat you up, car feels more planted in a corner. Honestly went into this thinking I didn't need all the adjustable stuff and by the end of it realized I was wrong, once these wear out I am going to pick up some Tein coilovers and call it a day.
Also don't bother asking Showa for instructions, these kits are "Japan only" in their eyes and they don't want to help or support people in another country.
