MK, if it were me, I wouldn't drive for a month unaligned. That's easily enough time for some 'interesting' tire wear to develop. Camber is one thing, but if your toe is off, that could cause you some sadness.

IMO, spending the $100 twice is worth it in the grand scheme of things.

why not just get the firestone lifetime alignment? it costs $150, and they will align it an unlimited amount of times. If you find firestone places that you are "tight" with, they will align it to whatever specs you tell them.

Default Re: MK'S Limited *Updated 3/24 Superleggera, Now What the hell does that mean?*

About the Subie...Well I finally resolved the issue with the damn amazing coilovers...basically its due to a faulty set of OEM top hats! anyways i got my rear camber plates from vorshlag via clint at turnin concepts and all i can say is WOW! i truly feel the suspention is amazing now! it is even GRANDMA approved! i gave my grandma a ride in the car the other day, and she even noticed it and said the car rides much more composed, and like her old buick she had back in the day. now thats a amazing suspention setup!

here are the crappy stock tophats that i hate because they gave me so many issues!





anyways, for some future comming plans.....im going to be purchasing a cusco engine/ transmission mount set, and after driving the lambo soo much im envious of all the alcantara, so im finally going to send my stuff to 10th street JDM to get the full treatment.....

BTW, wheels are due within a month from today! YAYAY!!!!

ALL COMMENTS WELCOME!!!
