    Go get a professional alignment asap. Not saying you aren't competent, but when I did my DIY alignment after replacing all that shit, I was WAY off, and I'd scrubbed a substantial amount of tread off my tires.

        I'm going to - but it's actually solid. It tracks straight and brakes straight. I used the "string" method.

              re-installed my HID headlights for the first time since i finished my s50 swap a week ago. driving around with high beams is no fun.

              installed my electric fan also, b.c i was overheating in traffic with no fan.

                Exactly. My car was tracking perfectly straight. And I had toe in like a motherfucker, I don't remember what exactly, but it was a lot.

                Go have it professionally aligned.

                      Replaced stock radio and removed the stock amp and repaired the freaking antenna..!! cool thing was that I did not have to rewire the whole car and I used the original cables.. It sounds great now with a new radio.
