Shark Werks Suspension Bits
Two of us in Atlanta ordered suspension parts from Alex two weeks ago (plus the bypass 
love that thing). We installed the dog bones, adjustable thrust arm bushings for the front, monoball lower control arm bushings front and rear, the thrust arm bushing kit for the rear and the adjustable toe steer kit.
All I can say is wow. If you track and haven't made this upgrade, you need to look into it immediately. The car handled significantly better. At today's PCA event at Road Atlanta, I had only one truly open lap (surprisingly, the event is completely sold out) and during it I knocked 4 seconds off of my prior best time. While part of that was upgrading to R6s, the car handled notably better. I know I have another 1-2 seconds, if I can get some open track.
Alex, thanks. Not only are the RSS party great, working with you was a pleasure. Can you open and Atlanta branch??

I had a mechanic friend lead the way and I assisted. did my best to watch on one side and do the work on the other. I installed the dog bones and the bypass.
Yes, on the alignment question. I had it set up at -3.0 camber on the front and 2.5 in the rear. The front toe is out 1/16th and the rear was in 1/8th.
Sorry, no pics
