Wow - great thread with good info. Thanks all for posting.

Really second guessing my decision now... I have some Eibach pro-kit springs I was going to have installed at TF Works. OP, Is this same place you had your alignment done? Sure sounds like it, but when I look at their site the address is for 2181 Foster Ave in Wheeling IL. That is different than address on your 2nd alignment sheet. When I asked how they would be doing alignment I was told, "With just the springs we will do neutral non-race alignment for the street...". I assume that is dropping the car on springs and then factory spec alignment. Which I had previously thought would be fine.

I guess I took it for granted when I had Prodrive springs on an STi and the springs came with very specific/exact alignment instructions and settings for after the springs were installed. Eibach pro-kit springs for the BRZ does not come with alignment specs for after install. So I had assumed they wanted OEM alignment.

The real PITA here is there is sooo much variance in the OEM alignment settings. That is a big range across all the factors mentioned.

Should I hold off on my alignment appointment now and get some of the extras mentioned in this thread like camber bolts?

EDIT - Also, OP it looks like the car in the second alignment pic is a Subaru Outback. Were all of the alignments mentioned on your BRZ? I originally assumed so, but confused by that pic. Your last alignment pic indicates it is for a BRZ however.
