Thanks to everyone for the advice!!!

5 hours? for what?  It shouldn't even take that long to properly corner balance the car and do an alignment. With the advertised spring rate for the kit, it doesn't look like they would have a problem with spring sag or incorrect height adjustments. Did they attempt to adjust the height at all? If the lower camber links are threaded all the way in and still over -2.5 degrees of camber, it simply sounds like the car is sitting way too low. I can't argue about quality considering it's price, but even if the dampers were made of Swiss cheese, the height adjustability and design alone shouldn't warrant alignment problems. If anything i would blame that on the camber arms. Are they longer than factory at the shortest length?
It doesn't really make much sense in either case though. Judging by the decreased caster values you must have even a smidgen of forward rake. Unless the front springs are even lower than the rear.
