I've always been a function over form guy myself... but I think you should post that in the show and shine section to see what kind of reactions you get. just don't do it under the sponser SN.

*Ninja edit* what does R/T charge for a 4whl alignment?
good news about the noise, bad news about the alignment. not sure how more rear neg camber will effect things but I would have went with atleast even front/rear. Bimmerworks 'should' know what they're doing setting up the car like that, I would hope.

seriously, I think mitsu designed that bolt to get stuck in there or something. I had to use (gulp) a torch and BFH to get mine unstuck. I tried everything else and it was the last resort @ 1am. I think you should have called Jeff for help with that one, he's got the right set of tools.

$80 to $125 for a 4 wheel to your specs. One of my camber bolts were stuck also, and Pat was albe to get it loose with a hydraulic hammer...worked like a charm! He re-aligned my cars last Friday, and it came out exactly what I asked for. -2.5 front, -1.7 rear, 0 toe, right height was lowered evenly with no rake. EvoGirl showed up to hang with me, and I had Pat copied the ride height!

Did you pick up the wheels? I'm so jealous...I wanted to get them too, but the budget wasn't allowing it.
