Daaaaammmmmnnnnn! Wtf? It looks like whoever put them together cross threaded it. I got my alignment done from my friendly local nissan dealership by their only GTR tech. $139 with the specs that I wanted for autox. No problems at all, I did have to give them The instructions for the spl parts. That's good you got it all squared away with new pieces.

On second look whoever adjusted it, tightened the collar down real good then tried to adjust it.

Not trying to hijack thread but if you just have swift springs and koni's do I need the mid links?

Mid links give full adjustment of toe with no chance of slip when you use eccentric lock out bolt kits. If you have swift springs you'll need to sell for swift racing linear springs in 2.5" diameter. But now you need to sell your shocks. With mid links you need an adjustable shock for height. With a OEM length shock when the suspension is unloaded the racing swift is loose in the bucket. You need a shorter shock to add preload to the spring or the spring could fall out of the bucket. This could be avoided if you run stock ride height though. I'm only lowered an inch though and suspension unloaded my spring can fall out. Needless to say I'm not driving aggressive until I get a coilovers rear adjustable shock in OEM type, or I might sell my mid links for toe links and buy a true coilover setup.
