The fronts have been rolled once already, the spacers are just for additional clearance. The rears have been rolled twice now

It was good! My camber was dead even on both sides, right side toe was at zero and the left side was out positive 0.3. Straightened that out and that was that. I'm glad it wasn't out much because I've been driving around without an alignment for probably 2 months?

Nice. I got the toe adjustment for the front earlier so now it's all good. The rear left has 0.2 degree left but I'm leaving that for next time until I get my coilovers. I guess I have to shim the rears in the future.

Ahh I thought I spied you on the rack as I was leaving haha. Shimming shouldn't be too hard. It's pretty easy to get at the necessary bolts. Alot easier then for GE anyway!!

Well, there's not a lot of shimming needed as of now but I'm pretty sure it'll need it once I drop another 2" or so.

Finish the shiny project, just take your time doing it. You're halfway there anyway, don't take shortcuts.

About the type twos.. I'm pissed off at them. They just aren't stiff enough. No other spring rates or shorter springs available, I already emailed them. Construction wise, they are great. Look wise, they are great. Stiffness and lowness wise.. THEY SUCK. I had to practically max out my preload to get to the ride height I'm at now and its STILL not stiff enough. Pretty chapped about that. KW next? mmmk.
