It took a lot of work to get them to fit with my current alignment specs. You can make them fit under stock fenders with some camber adjustments.

The bushings are not to bad. The worst ones were the rear sub frame bushings. Let me know if you need any help.

Handling improved and ride got worse. The master bushing kit is nice for the performance enthusiast. If you are concerned about ride quality I wouldn't do it. If you don't have the tools to install them you are going to pay a lot to have it done.

I do have the Tein SS-P. The top mounts usually are installed to only adjust camber. I rotated the mounts so I was able to adjust caster and camber. I pushed the struts all the way back to get more caster. I used two Ingalls camber bolts on each strut to get more negative camber. I had to use 10mm spacers on the front to get the camber settings I wanted.
Current alignment specs:

Front camber = -3.5
Front caster = 5.0
Front toe = 1/16 out
Rear camber = -3.5
Rear toe = 0

Yea. Don't even start with the whole stretched tires are unsafe argument. It's just gonna start a flame war. And the bead seat actually measured 10" when i got the tires mounted.

ummm, whats the point in running stretched tires if your not even using the stretch for what it was meant for?

stretch tires with barely any drop 1.) looks stupid and 2.) defeats the purpose
