the top nuts are to be torqued at 36lb-ft. but me not having the correct tools, i couldnt torque the top nuts, just tightened by hand..have your springs had time to settle? u drive it a little bit? be sure to measure with like a standing stick or tape measure. dont just go by the fingers.

mine was a little uneven at first but after measuring them after a week the fronts seem really really close. but my rears have about 1/4 in. difference. is that a biggy?

Did you give him odd specs, or is that just the best they could do? Not liking that RR toe, and I would have kept more rear camber if possible.

i agree with you about the RR toe...but he did say thats the best he could do to try and match the uk specs though, so ..ill just have to go by it. im sure if i were to be able to get under there i could probably improve it a little..
