I got it aligned right after being installed. The next day the camber was at -2.5 on the rear and -1.8 on the front. So I sat in my trunk and bounced up and down for a minute or so. Then I started pushing down on each end of the doors. Then I popped the hood and pushed down on it some more. Then got it aligned again.

Now im at -1.7 camber in the rear and ~-.6 in the front. The issue with having that aggressive-ish camber is that w/o it my toe would be messed up. As of right now, this setup is solid.

IF I want to mess with the toe, i'd be buying more parts from megan racing; since they offer the most parts for the rear suspension.

I've always had my eye's on RPF1's. But I'm holding off on rims for now. By mid summer I'll be close to 90k mi...so I want to save for a proactive rebuild.
