Pmed. And so far so good with them! since they are pillow ball mount i guess they are more performance oriented. my car rides stiff with the bags so im not sure if i can feel a difference lol
yes =p
well i did get an alignment but i was aired up near stock height so. im waiting to get front RCA, Rear camber kit, and SPC Upper control arms before i slam and get an alignment.
but alignment as of now are.. like... +.07 toe from both sides. +.01 cross toe i believe. not the best alignment since Firestone sucks...my steering wheel is STILL crooked...

Are they adjustable while on the alignment machine?
What kind of bent body problems did you have? On both sides?
Thinking of doing this mod as well.

yea it can be at zero however its user error.. Firestone SUCKS and i can comfirm that they SUCK.. i bet i can do a better alignment if i were to do it myself when its up on the racks.. but w/e i guess get what you pay for.
also yes they are adjustable while on the machine. Simple loosening of the nut on each side and tuning the blue body counter or clockwise.. pretty much expand or shrink.
n body problem wise my car had frame damage before i purchased it... could be a reason why my car is all wierd LOL.. n i know i have frame damage in the rear now hah

Finally got mine on this morning (took like 25 minuets to do both ) Got it aligned too, I'm still yet to 'test' them out. On my way home from work this morning I'm gonna hit the freeway and see if I feel some difference, I'm sure I will. Complete bolt on. Had to bend the inner mounting part like a mm or so just to get it in there, but dont think it was needed a good firm push could have sufficed (but I was in a hurry so I bent the summa ) pics later if you want

Sorry guys been busy to get pictures, but I DEFINITELY felt the difference. I really dont know how to describe it, but its just solid back there. I really dont know the purpose of toe arms other than the obvious and I dont know if I'm having the placebo effect, but I do feel a difference. I have no plans for tomorrow, so I should have time to take some pics...
