Got my car aligned this morning. Ride heights are 13 5/8"-13 3/4" all round. I have oem front camber bolts and whitleline upper rear control arm bushings. Indexing the adjustment bolts on the rear control arm bushings and setting the thinnest part of the eccentric to the 12 o'clock position worked well. Only the passenger side rear camber had to be adjusted. I wasn't able to get as much negative camber out of the front right wheel, its been this way even before the coilovers.


With the camber plates at zero

Front
Camber L -2.34 R-2.10
Caster L5.41 R 4.79
Toe L0.00 R 0.02
Total toe 0.02


Rear
Camber L-2.24 R-2.22
Toe L0.04 R0.04
Total toe 0.08

With the camber plates maxed out I was able to get L-3.60 and R-3.26 degrees of camber up front. I'll back off the left camber plate to even out the camber when autoxing.


Now I'll put the car back into the garage for a few more months.


EDIT:
Gave my dad a ride in the car as we wanted to test out the snow capabilites of the car with his all seasons, it snowed last night into this morning. While I only got 1/2 up the packed snow / ice back road I did hit some of my regular driving roads. The composure of the car going over rough roads is so much better than stock. The stock suspension, especially the rear, would get very out of shape over broken pavement, large cracks and undulations in the road. The car sits quite nicely on the road now, the rear of the car always seems like it has even and predictable weight on it going over the rough stuff. In certain situations I can feel the increased spring rate but it has yet to be harsh or punishing. Haven't played with the shock settings, they are still at 16 clicks from full stiff front and rear.
