Trust me, i'm going to get the roll center kit and a rear sway bar. Is there a reason to get a front sway bar? I don't see a lot of people replacing the stocker. What rear sway bar do you guys recommend?

Regarding Muellerized JIC's, i've thought about sending them to Muellerized, although i think the stock JIC FLT-TAR hard version are more than enough for now. The Evo feels really good currently. Although, i only have stock and tein S.Tech's to go off of. lol. I'm really glad i got rid of the S.Techs. God, those things were terrible. I'm not even going to bother trying to sell them used...lol.

I did a rough camber adjustment using a string and a weight(mostly to get the sides even), as i'm going to get the car aligned next week, the car was pulling slightly to the right due to more negative camber on the left side than right. The pulling went away and the car does feel more balanced(mostly due to ride height methinks). I'm anxious to get it aligned.

I appreciate everyone's input. It's really helped me with my decision and set-up. I also softned the rear by 1 click(5 clicks from full hard in front, 6 in rear). I will play around with the damper settings more this weekend. I think i can go a little softer in both front and rear.
My car is about a quarter inch lower in the front right and has an extra -.2deg camber. With a corner balance it wont be the same all the way around! The Evo is not balanced like a race car from the factory

Ok, after a few attempts, i finally got the alignment done. Here are my specs. Front camber: -2.0L -2.0R Front Toe: 0.05L 0.00R Rear Camber: -1.7L -1.7R Rear Toe: 0.15L 0.15R.

We tried to get toe to 0.00 on the rears, but the eccentric cam bolt's didn't have enough adjustment left in them to get toe to 0 with -1.7 rear camber. Will this toe out of 0.15 in the rear be a problem? Also, the technician couldn't seem to be able to get the left fron toe to perfect 0.00...is the extra .05 going to make a difference?

Thanks fellas!
