Cut your toe values in half for better tire life. You will notice only a slight loss of steer ahead.

Why couldn't they match rear camber values? It's better to have less camber but have the sides match.

Front and rear camber values are the same. Toe is at .12 and .09 in the rear and .04 and .05 in the front.

Oh, and don't forget to clean and blacken your fender liners while you're in there. People always seem to forget about those when detailing their cars.
Oh come on...that wasnt even on my radar. ugh. Never even thought of it. Im on it!

I'm looking at total toe. Individual values up front are actually silly since you'll manually point the wheels to go straight which makes toe even on each side. Your steering wheel may be slightly off-center, though. If the tech can't get front toe symmetrical with steering wheel centered, try a different tech.

Match sides first. If you want the same camber value front and rear, then fine. I have front and rear both set at -2°. Manual specs -0.5° front, -1.5° rear.

I put my first sticker on the car today. I was never a sticker guy but I've decided that I will make an exception for companies that have gone above and beyond for me. Right now that's a short list of two companies (Thaitanium and Stance/TF works).

Liking the new grill... Gives you a nice little teaser view of the intakes hiding behind there. Might look even better, though, if you color matched the grille frame to the body of the car. Just something to think about.

That's like skin-colored lipstick. It always looks weird to me.
