I got mine aligned today everything on the front came into spec with only camber bolts. No adjustment of the camber plates. Rear is good except camber. Both sides are 2.3 degrees negative.

@2016BoostedGreyGoose yes there is a little noticeable camber.
@volksnuts I made a post in custom ford Mavericks on Facebook giving people a heads-up to read this before ordering.
I believe Porvette is still temp banned. I haven't heard from him on Facebook since his alignment. He is set the same as mine. My alignment got moved to tomorrow, mechanic called in sick.
@volksnuts @2016BoostedGreyGoose should we post places recommending people stick to the standard version unless using for track/autocross purposes. May save some others the trouble.
@2016BoostedGreyGoose @volksnuts My girlfriend rode in mine today and had never been in a lowered vehicle and said she barely noticed a difference between it and before. I wonder if it's just the spring rate difference between low and standard. I thought when I saw volks pic of 16kg springs...
I'm in Norteast Tennessee. Adjusted today to 14 front 11 rear and it feels pretty good. Definitely better than my friends cts wagon on coilovers lol. I'm not going to adjust again till I see how the cooler weather begins to effect it.

Just the plates for now. The were set in the middle and I only had to make a slight adjustment on the upper bolt of the strut to knuckle mount to get it close using a level.
The coilovers are as low as they can go unless removing the lock ring on the rear. That could get another 3/8 inch or so. To preload the rear I used a jack to compress the spring 5mm then adjusted the shock length until it bolted up. That's how I understand the instructions and was similar to...
Finished mine up. My overall drop was 3.25 inches front and 4.25 rear after driving about 10 miles around the neighborhood. All fenders measure 30 inches from ground through middle of hub. Front rebound set to 12/24, rear 9/24 (lower=softer). Ride is actually pretty good, about the same as the...
Front: strut upper and lower mounts, sway bar end link, tie rod ends.
Rear: shock upper and lower, control arm bolts.
That should be everything important.
I hope so lol. Guess I'll be installing them in the driveway tomorrow or Friday. Might record it. Too bad I have a fully disassembled f100 taking up the garage lol.
