Got my Swift springs and Stillen sways installed yesterday.
Unfortunately, they were NOT able to get the alignment within specs, so I have camber kits (front and back) coming to be installed soon.
Here's what it looks like so far.
3 pics from before (side, front gap, rear gap), the same pics from after, and the initial alignment results.

Edit: 2/14/11 9:30pm
Added a decent picture in the sun.

So, it looks like just your camber is out - 0.1 in the front, and very close to the edge in the rear. If anything, I would look to do something for the front. Toe and Caster are good.

True, but they're right at the limits. I'd rather have everything nicely centered. A little bit of OCD here.

^^ I hear ya, but honestly, they don't come from the factory in the center, and your car could have very well been at the other end of the range before the lowering. Camber is camber, if you have any you will get more wear in the inner side, with less camber it will be less (width) of wear, but you will still get wear. Look at the benefits you will get on turning grip.
