Cool.sounds like you got it . In most instances for your average guy /average alignment car with no adjustment,I say just do it with a tape and a level. I am starting to realize this isn't cheap grocery getter stuff. If you have access to a rack and are trying to shim toe some of the machines themself have the software to tell you what shim with what cutouts to put where to get rear toe and camber. Does your machine have that capability?

New struts modified and painted so they hopefully won't rust.
Swapped my bump stop stack around.
Some goodies from the festiva store showed up so I installed them with some new lcas since one of my ball joints was bad.
New taillight gaskets also.
Started pulling my auto belts.

I just replaced the rear struts all the springs and front struts have been on for over a year now so it really shouldn't settle that much. Delco control arms. I guess they came from different batches so they look different from each other. These bushings fit pretty snug. I've always run the bushings that came in the control arms before so I dunno how they're supposed to fit.
Just signed up for scca track day at summit point Oct 21-22. So I've got a month to sort this thing out.Last edited by shorestiva; 09-13-2017, 08:29 PM.Better Than Nothing Racing

Ah. I found the adapter of Thingiverse. I'm highly considering doing Microsquirt for the fact that the B6T computer is ultra limited on it's capabilities and the Microsquirt is very reasonably priced.Current cars:
