I did not see my alignment after the drop and before the alignment kit. But I was told that the neither the front or rears where not close enough to factory specs to use without the kit. It ain't cheap but I know now that I'm safe to drive without wrecking tires.

Sport wheels , stock tires Fr 245/40 and Rr 275/35 , Eibach springs, 20mm spacers Fr, 25mm spacers Rr, SPC Rear Camber Kit, Toe Bolts.

Now for the camber numbers.

OEM
Front
Minimum -1.41
Nominal -0.67
Maximun 0.08


OEM
Rear
Minimun -2.16
Nominal -1.67
Maximun-1.17

My Alignment
Left Front -1.3
Left Right -1.6

Left Rear -1.1
Right Rear -1.0


Without the Toe Bolts the best we could muster was:
Left Rear -1.9
Right Rear -1.8

^ Not an ideal camber setting for the setup I was trying to achieve, hence the need to install the toe bolts. I was looking for a .3 difference between the front and rear camber settings with the front having more negative camber than the rear. I almost reached it with my camber settings above, but would not even be able to come close without the rear camber kit with toe bolts.

Goal to achieve is Front -1.5 and Rear -1.3

I will try to scan and post up the printout from the Hunter alignment.

I big thanks to Raul (RCZ) for educating me on the setup with camber, toe and sway bar setting. He really knows his stuff!
