Well it is all settled now.

The suspension settled 2/16ths of an inch in total in the two weeks since I put the coilovers on. It did all the settling in the first week and has not moved in the last week, so I think it is done settling.

I did a final adjustment and the car is lowered 1 inch total in the front and 3/4 of an inch in the rear.

Went out and got an alignment today.
The front camber sits at -1.6° FL and -1.4° FR the caster and toe came back into factory specs. If I get serious about autocrossing this car and the front tires are still wearing on the outside edges, I will get some eccentric delrin bushings made and add a bit more camber to the fronts. I really only want -2.5° up front as a max so I might be able to get some of that by lowering it another half inch.

The rear camber started at -2.8° RL and -2.7° RR which is why I have all that fun wheel spin in the rear right now (that and it is 30°). They were able to get them to -2.3° RL and -2.2° RR. The factory spec is -2.2° max so I am right on the edge there. I ran my 350 at -1.8° on both sides and it was pretty decent. I will have to see how the rear holds up with Hoosier A6 tires and -2.2° rear camber before I go and buy rear camber arms.

The were able to get the Toe and Caster back within factory specs all the way around so it is good there.

The car feels great on the road. Now I just have to wait till spring to see how it feels on the AutoX and local road course. Will also look at corner weighting this winter as I have access to scales.
