I'm hoping the alignment guy knows what he is doing! 
What type of alignment machine?  Hunter is one of the best IIRC! Best of luck and keep us updated!   Z  :)

Haha, I hope it's a Hunter. My brother works for Hunter.

Sigh.... apparently he doesn't and even with the bolts he wasn't able to get the camber right in the back. He said that wasn't enough threads. Do you guys have any ideas?

I think Adam(Polski) had a similar issue with his 13_NON_PP! Courtesy) of POLSKI  hope this helps any!
Don't have access to the FSM @ the moment! 

My alignment place wouldn't mess with the alignment camber bolts. I had to eye it and basically make them as positive as i could and it was in spec and  they turned out to be super close to each other. There is no need to take off the axle nuts on the front. Check the bump stops, mine were fine, I cleaned and lubed them. To get the control arm bolts out in the front they are spined so beat with a hammer may need heat. I also bought thru sockets from Craftsman but  they were short so I guess thru deep sockets are needed. The end link nuts are locking so I would recommend a couple new ones in case you have to heat one or two to get them off. The rears were a bigger pain in the ass as they are very tight. I had to spin the spring to a side that doesn't sit correctly in the spring seat to get them in and then spin them once they were in to hit the spring stop.

Pro tip:
Once done on a level surface loosen the strut bar and then retighten so there isn't any weird stress on the frame/body.

Feel free to reach out with any questions. The car is substantially lower. I need to buy higher sidewall tires for my winter steelies so keep that in mind. Test all the usual driveways so you don't jack anything under the car. I had to grind down some concrete on the entrance to my garage because the middle muffler was catching

What happened! hopefully on one was hurt!  Z

Guy in front of me started to go and right as I was starting to go he hit his brakes and I kissed his trailer hitch with my front bumper. It's not bad. Front plate mount took most of the hit. The bumper has a small dent behind the plate mount and the chrome trim piece is cracked. I would say I was going about 3 mph, so no one was hurt at all. I appreciate you asking though!

Get those types a fair share out here honestly. go, nogo, go, nogo.  I have gotten to the point I do not take my eyes off them or touch the gas until I see them pulling away by almost a carlength.

Glad you are ok, plastic can be replaced easy enough.

$500!! YIKES! I managed to push small dent in the bumper out. It's good to go. I will let that chrome piece stay cracked if it's $500. It's barely noticeable unless you stick your face up to it.
