!Handles Great-Do It!
Well, I had it aligned. They said I didn't need the offset bolts. Visually, the back looks like it has too much negative camber but it handles fantastic at all speeds. I do a lot of highway driving and this thing is tight. 25MPH on/off ramps at 50MPH now. Just need more power to utilize the suspension.
My suggestion is that you plan ahead and get the good front swaybar links like the AWR's. The mounting location is different on the Tokicos so the swaybar doesn't sit correct with stock end links. You may have trouble removing both the front and rear end links so be ready to replace the rears as well. Also, you might want to cut off some of the rubber bump stop at each strut. I didn't cut mine and I think it is restricting strut compression at times.
Good Luck!
