Good to know now pics of the fix :wave:

still a little off but i was told i needed aftermarket a-arms to accomidate the lowering springs.

hm. OEM a arms should work fine for lowering the car...

Ok so if you had the a-arms on backwards it would have moved the wheels forward. My bad.

Maybe its a FOX k-member for mod swap? I am using a Fox K-member and you have to slot the driver side rear 2 mounting holes on the k-member to get it far enough forward.

I know its a salvage car but If your wheels werent terribly off before the k swap then it shouldn be off as much as it is now.

your cc plates dont look like theres is any way to adjust the caster.. im not an alignment expert but maybe those plates threw off yous caster and you cant adjust it out???

thanks guys i am currently shopping for cc plates any ideas would be greatfully accepted.

only c/c plates worth buying are Maximum Motorsports

MM or if u have to, steeda...anything that has 4 bolts and requires a little drilling.

Agree on MM's plates. superior, with good adjustability.

From the look of it seems like its still off a little but better for sure. When you did the measurements did you do the underside only? I would check also the position of the mounts for the A arm and the geometry of the whole front end. The stock a arms should be fine unless they are bent.. The c/c plates shouldnt make a difference your not moving the wheel back from the mounted position at the end of the A arm so it should only effect the position of were the steering pivot point and the pitch in and out on the vertical access of the wheel. Check both sides of your wheelbase that should be your next move then proceed to the geometry.

thank you for the info i kinda just used tram gauges on the strut towers for an x measurment tomorrow at work ill put it on a dedicated frame machine and see whats up wierd thing is it drives strait and tire marks look good when doing a dogtrack test so its a mystery to me lol. It was a salvaged car and i do alot of them sometimes there is one that just baffles you ill get it fixed.
