how many KM's do you have on your car before installing?
i have a set of s-techs mounted on ap2 shocks which has been sitting in my living room for the past 6 months, but i don't want to install it and then find out i get that stupid vibration and then i have to swap the cups or buy driveshaft spacers...i'd rather do it all at once or not at all...

I would recommend the CR alignment if you don't want something as aggressive as the UK alignment(even though it's not that aggressive, not for me at least).
I believe the CR is -.7 camber in the front and -1.8 in the rear. This should be with you in the car, of course. Good luck.

Thanks for the tips. My car has just under 18000km. If your worried about it just buy the spacers, there not that expensive.
I have the safe fitament ce28 on my car and 225 255 brigestone pole position tires on my car and I have a slight rub over big bumps and having not done a alingment yet ( its obviosly more aggresive camber now than before) I have a new problem to figure out here. The nosie comes and goes so quick I have a hard time saying were it's coming from.

So it sounds like im rubbing rear and front slightly in heavy cornering and large dips. My CE28 are 17x9 +63, 17x7.5 +50 and im running RE050A pole position tires 225 up front and 255 rear. It looks as though I may need something aggressive enough to clear the fender with minimal inside damage to the tires. The weird thing is I cant see any damage in the fenders

Ironically I have the same set up though I'm lowered by 35mm
Used to have some rubbing on the front wheel arch liners during hard cornering. Solved that with an uprated front ARB.
