: first . the turner plates are K-mac. they are very good but do wear out (thebearings) over time.
: Second. Adjusting rear camber affect your toe. be sure that you are still within spec.
: Third. stock your car should have 1.6 deg. of Neg camber and .4 deg of toe.
: good luck


The car tracks straight, 2 days of driving after the adjustment. Still coasts really well. More toe would increase rolling resistance less or some imbalance would cause it to pull. Car is very neutral feeling. Still needs some improvements up front. I think I will go with M3 strut bushings as opposed to Kmac even though Kmac sounds like more fun to play with. I don't have anyway other than seat of the pants or visual to check toe in or camber. When I am done buying the components I will go get that alignment. It definitely feels better now though. Thanks for the info.
