I wanna do that too, but I'm not patient enough to collect each piece. Waiting to find a rear ended specimin, or hoping someone wants to swap for a full willow interior.

Alignment print out. Also, for those who have expertise when it comes to sways, I was told adjustable end links are designed so that the sway bars will sit flat. Mine seem to be tilted up a little bit because I have oem end links. Pic is of the rear. Pls chime in if you have some experience with these

Your alignment sheet is upside down, knee grow. Hangin my head upside down n ****.

Your camber is on point tho. I'd take yer front left down a bit to -0.9 if I were you, but its not that big of a deal.

That does seem like alot of angle. But they also allow u to pre-load the bar.

lolol I woulda taken the front left down a bit but as I'm sure u know, when u do one turn of the kinetix upper a arms it not only affects camber but also caster a little bit. So since everything was green I chose to leave it be.

No, caster is the straightness of your entire structure. The only variable on our car that affects caster is the bushings in our compression rods. Its the only part that links our suspension to the chassis.

the last 3 alignments I have sat watching my car, the mechanic, and the computer screen. One turn with kinetix upper a-arms does move caster just a little bit. I know for a fact.
