If you take pics make sure to do it in such a way that we can see enough to get a frame of reference. But considering it was -6 I don't have real high hopes at this point.

When you say that the front rca doest have plates, do you mean that they are built in or that you left them off?

 

Yes, the Ohlins were installed with the recommended preload and damper lengths before they were installed. Last week my Wicked Tuning rear toe arm snapped, so I took this opportunity to have the rest of my parts installed with all the Spoon stuff.


The -6 degrees is right when all the stuff got installed without an alignment. In my previous setup and dialed in, the alignment was at F: -1.9, R: -3.5

By front RCA's, i meant the Spoon offset ball joint. It does not have the plates or anything built in, instead i have the Front Bumpsteer kit that installs between the front subframe/steering rack.

 

Well that spoon joint is doing nothing good for you, if you swapped back to stock you will be pretty close to what you want in front.

 

Still strange that the minimum in the rear would be -3.5. My car with the same coil overs setup to the Ohlins recommended settings and ride height, and J's racing 12mm RCA the same alignment shop was easily able to get me to -2.4 in the rear. I am not familiar with the intricacies of having the adjustable rear control arm and how that will effect the alignment process though.

Is it possible something was bent when the Wicked tuning arm snapped? It seems those really should be fully recalled and taken off the market entirely if that haven't been already.

 

Ride height makes a huge difference too. Something like 1 degree per inch, there are graphs on here that show it. So if you are super slammed and raise you car back up 1/2" you will get about .5 degree back.

But I agree with Andrew, something seems goofy still.

You can also measure ride height by measuring your how far your jack points are off the ground.

 

ok, pics:

Do the Spoon offset ball joint looks like it was installed backwards?

 

Nope.

 

better angle here:





Seems like the ball joint curve is point outwards away from the engine. Mine seems to be opposite?

 

Your's is the same. The balljoint is offsetting the bottom of the knuckle outward as it should be.

 

Are your rear quarter panels all stock? Try measuring the rear ride height measuring from the wheel center to the quarter panel.
