Thnx guys, I ended up going back to firestone today they gave me a full refund, and theyre paying for new tire and I'm taking the car to Induction performance on Friday and they are going to align the car properly. I just bought the Upper control arms off another member and im going to be dropping in some coilovers by the end of the month.

lol.. Buy more parts and hope it gets better, instead of fixing it the right way. Spoken like a true 240 guy..

^^Right, you could have just done it yourself. Pull out as much + camber out of stock rucas as needed to not rub and if not good enough adjust rlcas out enough as necessary, simple really.

G/L though

Damn... im just trying to buil my suspension up. but yeah I kinda figured out thats why the camber was so off on one side so thats why im letting a PROFESSIONAL adjust them for me, I know the owner so I'd rather them do it than waste time with more trial and error. btw im gettting some D2 coils!

are they really that bad? and I have the stockies but I just replaced them because the ball joints were blown out. and I have an s13 Ebrake bracket (had to modify it just a tad so it would fit; I couldn't find someone to sell me just the ebrake bracket from an s14) on the passenger caliper that doesn't work with the stock lca's because it hits it.
