Just got it aligned today. Before the camber kits, it was about -4.5 all around, a little more in the back and a little less in the front.

It was slammed on the previous springs, because the guy buggered up the coilovers and I couldn't raise it. It was so low that I couldn't even fit one finger between the tire and the wheelwell/fender.

You probably shouldn't need an extra toe-link unless you're dropping the car really really far in the back. I would get both upper control arm kits for the front and back, you can probably do both for just over 200 bucks and it's worth it to know that you'll have proper alignment all around.

it's what I have and so far I've been REALLY happy with it. They did a full alignment and even re-torqued my steering wheel so everything is perfectly straight. I was doing a buck 20 today (was late to work >_<) and there wasn't even any vibration.

I got my ominpower front camber kit from IAPdirect.com, I bought my Ingalls rear kit from a local speed shop who ordered it for me.
