So anyway, they were installed on thursday of last week by GST, and they aligned on friday by AI. I am running 0 toe with negative 1 degree of camber all around. Even ride height front to back, the rear just looks lower due to body work / fender. Here are some pics of the car, the old suspension, what they look like under the hood, as well as a picture of my fake sti oil cap i got with my ebay strut tower braces and h brace .

The feel of the car is so much more stable when I am really pushing it, and my bad oversteer that I had before is pretty much gone. It still will oversteer, but its controlled and I can feel it before I'm sideways - its sort of hard to describe but it feels really nice. It can bounce if it hits some bad bump or something, but it happens. I am running 20 out of 30 stiffness all around the car. I took it for a drive out on highland (back roads near me) this weekend and had a blast with it - at one point I peaked over some crest in the road and got all four of my wheels in the air . I think I'm going to go back and get a picture of that .
