Alignment redone by Performance Chassis and now we're at -2.4 all around. Repaired the brake ducting today using aluminum tape. Hopefully that keeps some life in these things. I rebled a little leftover air out of the lines today, but the brakes still dont feel like a rock as the OEM pads did. This occurred on my old AP2 as well, so I think it just has to do with the pads themselves.

If you're going to secure your brake ducting with zip ties, go to the auto parts store and buy some rubber vacuum hoses to run the zip ties through. It will prevent you from having to fix your hoses again. This is coming from experience.

because the zip ties will rub a hole in the ducts?

Correct. The hose prevents chafing on your $100+ hose.

Nice, looks like everything lines up fine and your subframes haven't shifted much if at all. Did you align with yourself in the car, and why so little toe-in out back?

No the shop did the alignment both times. Since I have the front bar on full stiff I wanted minimal toe in the rear to both help rotate the car and to help with tire life.

Was trying to do a little research on the Track forum to see if this actually works. I am actually in the process of doing the same thing, just put in an Eibach front swaybar and was hoping to use less toe-in in the rear of the car.
