The after math

I love my new wheels but the I keep thinking I need to stop being cheap and get a camber and toe bolt kit. Will the kit take the slight inward camber look out of the wheels? Or should I leave it be?

Post your alignment specs again if you can and maybe a good shot down the side line of your car. If you're close and your toe is OK I'd just run it.
BTW, the title of your thread sounded scary, I though you joined some of us in the "recently smashed-up G club

IMO it looks very good, the rear right camber is a bit low, if & when you go back for another alignment check see if they can get that camber up in the right rear. The fronts are out but they're balanced (w/ the equal amount on each side) and your toe is perfect in front w/ that right rear being a bit low.

IMO your golden, and from the side shots you're squared up real well. That right rear is the only tire that's a bit out from the rest (although it's in spec, it's more out of range compared to it's opposing tire). I'd just run it, but if you feel you really want the front in spec than by all means get just the front arms, the rear is fine and should be able to get that right rear closer to the left without any kits.

I'm wondering, does it make a difference that the alignment is based on a coupe and not the sedan?

Looks good to me...not like I know much

Your alignment specs are better than mine and I'm not concerned about it...just let it roll!

Boywdr, looks good. What size wheels did you get? Also can you post a side shot? I'm in the process of getting new wheels and wanted more ideas/options.

Thanks.

I think -2 camber in the front shouldn't be too bad if your toe is in spec. I ran about -2 camber in the front for over a year without any bad wear on the front. I installed A arms recently and am running -1.5 now.

Sorry I am winging the replies while at work. I was told the alignment it the same so the 2 dr does not matter.

This is one side shot I am gonna post one more from what I have on my phone it's raining hard outside right now.

And I am so 50/50 on the full camber kit it's said cause I can get it for about 475 full front and rear with toe bolts plus 150 installed or save that money an put it towards a new big brakes set up either that's for all the help so far.

Sounds like this is one of those things that just "bugs" you, not saying right or wrong, but if you don't feel right about driving your G w/ alignment a bit out then you should just get the front arms and then realign to spec. I doubt you'll truly feel comfortable until all is "right". And I'm in no way being sarcastic or condescending, it's just the way some folks want their ride, and I've got the full F&R kits and am in spec, so I can't really say how I'd feel if I was in your situation. I think I would save the money for something more interesting though
