You didn't translate the rear alignment but the numbers look ok. Could benefit from some more negative camber on the fronts but it is in spec.

Personally, I wouldn't want to run spherical race bearings on a street car. The stock pillowballs are similar in design as the race bearings but have a rubber cushion and dust shields so they last longer and are quieter.

Don't make the mistake of throwing parts at the car as a means of troubleshooting. Go have your buddies at Feed take a look at the rear suspension and troubleshoot to figure out what might be wrong.

Also, what tires are on the car?

Michelin pilot sport PS4. 225/45/r17 iirc on 8" wide wheels. Got a good deal on the size, although it's slightly narrower than I had hoped.

Bad week for the car: driver side window randomly stopped working (looks like it's the motor, made a noise now nothing), hood latch/cable broke, and I think there's a leak of some sort (although hoping it could just be the AC, because I only saw it once after parking after a long drive, couldn't replicate it.

Luckily the leak is just the window washer tank, I guess it broke. Probably time to replace the coolant overflow tank in that case. Hood latch cable randomly started working again (wasn't working when the car was parked at a weird angle uphill). And the AC controls, which have sometimes been intermittent, haven't worked for a few days now. Luckily it died set to AC on, 25C (~77F) and everything still works, I just can't adjust it.
