Pls help review my alignment...*pics inside*
#3
I just recently lowered mine on stock 17's too and honestly I haven't even done anything else to it. Pretty sure I'm lower since you said you got two to three finger gaps. My camber up front doesn't isn't as negative as what's in the back.
Anyways I should probably quit being lazy and change out some suspension part too and go get an alignment.

I think my rears are a bit lower. I will try to take a pic if I can. I measured the height of the front coil spacing on each side and I'm perfectly in measurement. As the same with the rear.
My question is that I came in there with my toe out and my camber was less on the fronts when the car went it.

Apparently the car pulls to the right and left a bit but not mucht, the steering if off center too just a tad -- leaning more right.
I'm going to switch the tires from front to back and see if that changes things.

Alright, so apparently the techs took the outer tie rod and placed it on top of the mounting point for the tie rod in relation to where it mounts to the ball joint.
Got a new driver outer tie rod. Should be better once I get it realinged.

The caster is just fine. You always want the right side caster to be higher than the left. This means that the right tire is slightly in front of the left. This helps compensate for the crown in most roads. They should try to get the rear toe more even to fix the thrust angle.

I'm not saying his front should be zero'd out, 'cause it shouldn't with stock adjustment, but his rear shouldn't be less cambered than the front if evenly dropped. You always run more camber in the rear than the front.

Directional Tires Rotation by Un-mount & Re mount
My car pulled to right at or above 70 MPH, and at 65MPH or below, its track straight. After I unmounted and remounted the tires and rotated them. Its track much better now. But still having a little veering to the right tendency at freeway speed. So here is my question, If I replaced the caster arms, upper and lower arm's bushing. Will its help with the alignment? Stock height and stock rims, I mounted a new set of directional tires from Yokohama AVID ENVigor. My alignment reading are all within spec. Could it be my tires?
