Are those official Tein alignment specs, or are they just from another user with the same setup? Just curious.

no, these are in no way 'official Tein' specs or anything of the sort. these are my own numbers, the results of having the alignment done at a performance shop. I am only posting this info as reference.

what are your impressions of:

the alignment, the coilovers, them together (overall setup) compared to what you had before and stock

thanks -Anthony

I dont feel any difference after the alignment, I just know now I wont need new tires in 7k miles

as far as the tein, couldn't be happier. I dont track the car at all, so the RAs are fine enough for me. no squeaks or bouncy/stiff problems - I give A+ to the preciseness of the dampers, you can really dial in on a good setting.

the rear definitely felt stiffer than the front when I put them in until I dialed back the dampening. I have them 3 clicks from softest in the back and they feel nice
