So one of my bigger concerns now is ensuring I have adequate fender/inner to tire clearance. Everything clears at ride height. At half way to full-bump the tire starts to get into the fender when turned to the stops.
Visually it looked like I had positive or neutral camber. I've been told I need -1 degree at ride height. I only previously had ~1/4" of shims in place. Today I threw in some additional washers to get ~1/2" total of shims. This visually - I don't have a gauge - seemed to put a little negative camber in at ride height. The additional camber gain helped with the tire to fender clearance issue some to.
I'm still thinking I may get someone to do some sheetmetal work on those fender lips and inner fenders. With that I think I'll be ok.
I'm not thrilled about that huge stack of alignment shims. I *may* move the control arm tower over some if I go ahead and install the Chicane brackets after I tear it back apart for paint.
