Just scheduled the performance alignment for tomorrow morning. Cost = 125. It is a shame that places charge more for modified alignments, but when you look at most shops that just toe-n-go their customers, it is worth paying extra to have an experienced guy do it right and line you up for best handling.

The factory 5-link rear suspension luckily has adjustment on each link. With this many adjustable links, they can definitely compensate for all of these mild 1" drops we're getting on our cars. If you pushed 1.5-2.0" then you would probably need adjustable aftermarket links that have more range.

I swapped out the trailing arms based on recommendations; they take the hardest load from launches. Once my rear wheels are standing upright again, I expect that the wheel hop will be damn near gone -- until I get around to adding more power. =)

Crankaholics sits higher for some reason, the others look just right. Crankaholic, did you let yours settle in before tightening all your bolts? These cars really look much better with the tires tucked closer to the fenderwells.

I lied. Mine was only $150 after all. But yes this is one job I definitely won't trust to any old shop.

Then that wasn't too bad.

Btw, I love how "plump" your tires look on there. Better than looking stretched.
