The knuckles are the same between SS and 1LE. OP should ask for money back or bring it back so they can finish the job you paid them for.
I could see that being the case.

Would have been nice it it was mentioned in the directions or if they could finally put out the factory shop manuals.
FYI an electronic service manual is available online.

Mine could only get -2 degrees up front. I don't think every car has the same results from what I've read on here

That looks pretty good for a semi aggressive street alignment. Thats what I was running and my tires were wearing pretty even. Keep an eye on your front tires, If the outside edges are wearing fast, you may need more camber. -1.6 was pretty good for me for spirited mountain driving. Hopefully you have some sticky tires that can keep up with your incredible suspension and and alignment. All the suspension in the world means nothing without tires that can keep up with the suspension. When your tires wear out, make sure you put on some tires on that are worthy of that suspension. You will be amazed what tires can do. It will take your car to the next level.

Michelin Pilot Super Sports. 285/30 305/30
I havent really had a chance to drive much. It was raining when I had it done and now in sick. I live in the country but there's not many places to pass and Im pretty much always behind someone doing 45-50. They make sure to do 40 in a 30 through town though.

I'm SOOO Jealous, keep us updated on how it performs. i wanted to get the kit, but I had a 2016 and the programming wasn't available. It should be amazing. Best of both worlds. 2SS / 1LE

from what little driving iv done since installing it im not impressed. Im thinking I should have gone with BMR. im not feeling much of a difference. Still understeers and has some sway even in track.

Your suspension should be perfect now.
Your tires are good, but they may not be as good as OEM 1LE tires. If you want the total package, Add some Bridgestone RE-71r tires or stock 1LE tires and you should be blown away. That should eliminate your understeer issues.

im not anyway near the limits of my tires. Im talking about when I turn the wheel the car has a delay befor it turns and dips in the opposite direction of the turn. When I put full BMR bushings and sway bars in my 5th gen that disappeared with stock tires. I was hoping this would do the same. Im thinking BMR sway bars might help.
