Awesome progression thread and grats on the new wheels. I think they'll look better than the previous wheels you've had but it's always hard to tell until you actually mount them on the car

Well, went to get it aligned and the dumbasses @ Firestone in Burlington, NC had absolutely no idea on what to do on the SPC front uca's so the just set the toe to as close to 0 as they could, and just left the camber alone.. so its like -3 degrees on each side.. but here are some pics as it sits. car needs to be washed bad

Looks really good, any chance we can get a pic down the side to see how they sit poke/flush? We all know you like to take pics so this shouldn't be a problem.

I do have this one pic of the rear though. You can see how "out of whack" the front is lol. This is with a 5mm spacer. So 19x11 +10 with 275/35/19

how much did they charge you at firestone? most places like that dont align your car when you have adjustable uca's, thats why when you do go to a place that adjusts uca they charge anywhere from 140-200 because they take more work to align.

on a side note, i am lowered same as your height and have no knocking sounds, i have spl uca tho. you have pics of the inside where your uca are?

They wouldn't align the front as I stated above. They didnt want to mess with it and told me to take it somewhere else lol. And mine are SPC, not SPL. Here is the best pic I have of that

If you still need an alignment, consider driving to Cary (near Raleigh) and going to Performance Chassis. They do some track cars and can tailor the alignment to your needs. I am currently on a 0 toe alignment to keep my tire wear down until I get all of my suspension components installed.

It's comforting to go to a shop that actually understands alignments from a performance standpoint. Most places seem to only know how to adjust what the computer tells them to.

Well as of right now, no but the fronts need to be aligned, so I imagine when the wheels is stood up a little bit more, it will have some issues, so i am going to raise the front just a little more.. also to match the rear a little better. and thanks
