Good to hear that it’s all working well now eastla.
I agree with your alignment comments to JBT however I’m not sure if he would be able to get -1.5 camber up front with standard springs. Some owners can only get -1 while others -1.6. Just the luck of the draw I guess.
JBT, I’d max out the negative camber on the fronts and then set the rears 0.3 less.
Wear won’t be a problem. I’ve been running -2 to -2.3 for the last 25K on this set of tyres and the insides only show about 1mm more in tread wear and I’d still have another 15 - 20K left in them.
Wheel Alignment Perfect; car still does not go straight

Yeah thanks CB.
You are probably right about JBT not being able to achieve that camber; forgot about that.
But I agree with what you recommended too.
