I might still be there then. It depends on how much homework I get done before then.

What about the caster? i honestly have no idea how much caster is good for DD and be competitive in autox. My current caster has different number from left to right (Didn't touch the caster adjustment on SPC arms)
Is the caster adjustment even necessary to be cmpetitive with BSP and BSP novice folks? If not, i can change my SPC arms (bad design) with Kinetix.
once again, sry for thread jacking.

I just got back from the shop and not super happy the results.

They put put front toe in instead of out, rear to in but .02 degrees different.
Front camber was -.3 on left and -1.3 on right. Lots of difference.
Rear camber was -.9 on left and -1.7 on right. Lots of difference. They said they was no more negative they could go..
They said they dialed in the toe and that's where the camber went.
I'll probably go back next week and have them fix it.

Also the parking brake doesn't spring down anymore either?

Don't worry, I talked with them and they know I'm not happy--I just had to get back to class so I couldn't have them fix it right then.

What do you guys think?

Also, what is the conversion from degrees to inches?

So in the front we are actually looking for toe out? Getting the car aligned tomorrow. Just put on SPL arms, SPL tie rod ends, SPL compression rod bushings.
