so, i finally got the fenders rolled with a very slight pull, and here are the results after a height readjust:




so, im very very very happy with the stance and the overall drive. took her for a quick touge run, not an overly difficult one, and she is a monster, destroyed everything i threw at her no problem.....
my driving skills are not where they used to be.....sheesh

Why more camber in the rear than the front? I feel as though that will upset the balance of the car.

well, i cant adjust the camber in the rear due to solid bushings in the subframe, and i think im going to redo the camber up front, they were uneven before the alignment, but now im running into rubbing again when turning. i think -1.5 front is what itll stay at, the rear i cant do anything about
