Yeah, alignment taken care of. unfortunately I couldn't get the numbers I wanted but its Kool, I just lifted the rear another 1/2" so hopefully I won't rub in the rear anymore.
now next on the menu is my turbo build. a buddy of mine in br is gonna help me with the install but I'm not sure where to take it locally to get it tuned. anyone know of a reputable tuner who who is aem certified? I was looking into corr performance but I've heard they've blowed up a couple of motors. not sure of its true or not.

Thanks to these posts I used Firestone Wednesday morning. They installed "Star Specs" that I ordered from Tire Rack and did a custom alignment. A young fellow named JC was really knowledgeble and worked the alignment. They did the install and alignment in two hours and I got the lifetime warrenty as well.

I had a pretty good experience with them as well. Unfortunately i'm still rubbing in the back driver side off -2.4 camber 
. Next time i'm back in town i'll just have to raise it a little higher and dial more camber back there. Do you guys think it'd be safe/wise to run -3.0 on the rear for the street? The specs on the tires (toyo R888) recommended -3 to -5 but i'm not sure if thats a good idea.

Should be fine. What is the car? Ap1 or Ap2? You might find that rear toe settings are more important, and of course ride height and camber will both affect rear toe. Have you considered just rolling your fenders and having the bumper tab relocated?

It's an AP2 and i'm not sure now low it sits now but i can fit two fingers in the gap. I've already rolled the fender as well. Cant remember the toe settings off hand but i'll be home in march so i'll look at it again then. Thanks for the input
