Almost forgot to post this. The old rear tie rods on the AW11 were seized so I couldn't get the alignment set right, but I just got the new super-beefy replacements from Matrix Garage! First AutoX is April 19th and she's almost ready to go!

Nice! I'm thinking about picking up a pair in case my TwosRUs ones go.

I had to laugh when I first opened the box cause the inner joint is so overkill, but they're really well made and the finish on the hex piece didn't scratch at all while I while tightening the jam nuts.

Wow. The hex bit is kind of mangled on mine already.

Good point. They fond of insisting that you need eccentric bolts and ignoring the fact that the car already has them when the camber's out? I can't tell how much is that they don't want to do it, and how much is seriously not understanding that you just need to move a slider on the hub.

haha soo true, the last time i took it to get an alignment the guy literally said the same thing. He called me and said he'd need to order eccentrics to adjust it and I had to insist that he go take another look because I know they're there. Sure enough he sauntered out and said "well I'll be damned."
