The bottom one is your suspension after the alignment. As you can see, none of the numbers are bold, so they got your alignment within the acceptable measurements.

So it looks like they did your alignment based on factory specs (the way the car should sit from the factory), and did a good job on it.

Good. Yeah the bold numbers and before and after check I understood. Was mainly looking for confirmation that the shop did a great job. Yeah he said stock specs for alignment. I figured that would be the best. Thanks for the info

No problem! Yeah from what I can remember, the total toe in should be 0.06 front and 0.12 rear, so they got that perfect. I had my alignment done a little different for better cornering/handling, but I haven't taken advantage of that at all. And since I think my car is out of alignment now (lots of pot holes in Houston), I'm gonna go get it re-done with factory specs.

Edit: how does the ride feel?

Haha yup can't wait to break it in. But sway bars have been installed and went for a quick drive definitely feel a big improvement over stock.

Couldnt really test it out Cuz it was storming. Wet streets and tires. The car doesn't pull like it did before. The steering feels smooth. But I want to test it on a nice sunny day

A lot less body roll when going into a turn, The car feels planted in a left hand turn at 35 miles per hour

Edit let me add that it was sharp turn and I felt like I could have done it quicker but I was in my neighborhood and it was starting to get dark out.

Very nice Kevin

How hard was it to remove the rear bumper? Been thinking of doing a quad tip exhaust recently and know to change the diffuser it is easier to pull of the bumper.

Isn't too bad undo 1 bolt and 3 screws holding the wheel liner in place on each side, unplug the taillights and then just pull.
