I have changed the height of the posts, including adding many more washers per side and it still doesn't work properly. Its a pretty simple installation and I have everything lined up and tightened but the geometry just isn't working.

Maybe my car is different, I don't know.

Hmmm. That's not good. I have mine at the shop waiting to get installed.
