Had it done yesterday and I can feel the difference. Car feels tighter and more secure than it did and tracks very true. They also told me to keep the tire pressure low because the car is so light. They gave me all the paperwork on 4 wheel alignment and weight balancing readings. The bad news is that when I did the camber plates I replaced the front springs with an Eibach spring kit from Iconic. New rate is 350 lbs. Shop told me that is too stiff for my car and that I should look for a variable rate spring. That will be the next project. Cost for what they did was $409 which I thought was reasonable.

After getting it back on the ground, I think I should have gone with +4.5 tics, but its not bad for my primitive method. I don't think it will be easy to adjust the plates once they're installed since we can't reach them from the top. I'm guessing it's probably just as easy to pull the coilover, make the adjustment and reinstall.
Please let me know how it turns out once you get it professionally done.
