Thanks for the advice, I just did it on my own(video I uploaded below). "Burnt the midnight oil" last night and I just dialed it to the same setting as the right side. Left was dialed close to the max-positive setting; which cause the rear to swing right and made the car turn left while the steering wheel is centered, so I adjusted it close to how the opposite side assuming that is the OEM factory setting. I'll leave it at that until it is time to purchase new tires. The car now drives smooth and straight!!!

For some reason, WWP on the MS kit looks good.

Pardon my crappy air dam I hit a construction barrier on the highway. But this TiGrey is one hell of a color, it always looks different.

Not super aggressive. Driving MN roads isn't easy.

Mine looks bad because I painted it myself and did a step wrong. I haven't run over any road debris in like 9 months.

I really like the Battles. I have the same ones. But I don't have any real intention of changing them out since I'll most likely never have a $2500+ wheel budget

I just got my 8 back with a new engine yesterday, I'll have to post some pictures when I get home!
