Finally got the 5 lug swap sorted out with new turbo tie-rods, M calipers, wheel bearings, brake pads, alignment, etc.

Alignment came out at 1.00 front camber, 1.5 rear camber and 1/16th toe-in front and rear. (Guy said that's as close as he could get to what I wanted)

Took the car out for a spin earlier and man it's like everything is tied into a light switch.

The slightest input to the steering wheel and it wants to change directions RIGHT NOW!!!

Also seems to pick up every contour in the road surface which was kinda unnerveing over 60.

Are these the changes I should expect?

I'm gonna have to learn to drive it all over again... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
