MovinUp-1 is an unknown quantity at this point
The alignment is -2.5 camber, 1/8" toe out in front
rear is -1.5 camber and 1/16" toe in is the setting I want.

The bushings are a PITA to install. The factory bushings have an inner and outer steel sleeve that must be cut out. Most of the rubber bushings had to be burned out before we could start cutting the sleeves. It took a lot of work. It is worth the work, though you will need to shave down the poly bushings before installing them or the rear end will bind in bump.

The whiteline bars are ok. the endlinks are garbage. I'm going to make my own with spherical bearings.

Right now the rear end is too tail happy. A lot of that came from the alignment shop not knowing what they were doing. they couldn't get rid of the toe out in the rear so the rear is slightly toed out instead of toed in like I said above. I disconnected the rear bar and lowered the rear of the car some to try to get it to toe in a little. It helped but it was by no means ideal. We're going to get our own caster camber and toe gauges and do our own alignments from now on. Other than that the car worked great. the turn in is absolutely amazing. Once we get the alignment correct the rear end should be more tame and the lap times will drop dramatically. Even with this crappy setup and running on street tires, we killed street mod locally so the car has a lot of potential in it. I just need some more seat time in it.
