Your alignment can be very easily throw off by a hard hit... there are several bolts used to adjust the alignment, if any of them get shift a little or loosen with a hit, there goes your alignment.

For us guys that have the SPL camber adjustable control arms, I should let you know those are track only... they are very very easily knocked out of alignment (camber) with a bump.

I just got an alignment yesterday...
Front:
-2.2 Camber
5.6 Caster (locked by the SPL camber arms)
.02 Toe

Rear
-2 Camber
.06 Toe

So far I like it a lot. Driving in the rain yesterday was a joy. I havent tested the limits yet on dry, but eventually I will

RCZ, do you know any camber kits that will not crash after a bump? ANY STRONG ONES?

I dont think we have many choices right now. Im not saying they are absurdly weak, all Im saying is that they are likely to go off if you hit a pothole so be ready to get alignments often.
