OK we figured it out. The plates are perfectly fine, its the alignment rack at the shop I went to that wasn't calibrated correctly. Vorshlag said they had 4-5 cars that went to this specific place to get an alignment and the left side always came out below spec on their rack, but didn't match a digital camber gauge.

Even though the alignment rack calibration wasn't their fault (it wasn't even their machine) they're getting it aligned for me at a different shop at covering the cost. I love these guys so much.

Yeah more caster means more dynamic camber while you're turning, and better steering self centering

Ditched the OFT and got an ECUTek tune this morning. I wish I had done this in the first place instead of wasting my time with the OFT...

191 at the wheels on a Mustang Dyno!

Also got these as a thank you gift for helping another guy in DFW86 install his exhaust. I like them.

How is your 3M holding up at the top of the side windows?? Mine was replaced 3X because the 3M wears out where the window rubs every time you open and close your doors. Om my new 2017 I used another manufacturer and so far so good

Looks like it's still brand new after 4-5 months. Did your 3M go all the way to the edge? My installer used a large roll and filed the edges to match up to the windows to look OEM. I know that one of the other guys in the DFW 86 Club has the pre cut 3M that doesn't go all the way to the edge and peels every so often.

Great to see you joined the forums man! Did you hear back from the insurance about your car?

Got a pretty sweet Black Friday deal on a KN Filter and hood struts, those got installed today, Grimmspeed cylinder brace also shipped this morning.

Anyone know if the stainless steel lines from the previous MY will fit the 17+ brembos? Trying to get all the prep done to flush the brake fluid again, and trans/diff too.

KN finally has a filter for the 2017 MT? Interesting
