today I installed the following:

eibach sportline springskyb agx shockskyb strut bootscusco camber platesebay ruca

how long and how many miles should I wait until I do an alignment on the car?

what's everyone's favorite sportline + agx setting? right now I have 2 in front and 4 in rear. I think it's stiffer than stock. I might change it to 1 in front and 2 in rear see if I like that.

1 week, should be a safe estimate.

Ah, I knew your name sounded familiar. I never knew your NICO name :P

So the shocks worked out ok? Ive decided to keep my car and go the ca18det route and get some Tein Basics (along with bushings) before getting the engine swap. I found the Tein basics for $756 shipped!

I dont think I adjusted it, might have but I dont remember. Only thing is the s-tunes arent adjustable. Im just gonna go with tein basics and a camber kit (I wont be drifting or anything, so I dont need adjustable camber plates). I think I got it all planned.

And yeah, I think a week is enough time to get an alignment. If they settle anymore after a week, I doubt it would be enough to mess up the camber outside of reasonable specs.
