I'm thinking of trying to get as close as I can on toe, caster and camber before I take mine in ... it's a local garage and I want it to be a simple as possible for them.

I made no attempt at adjusting caster and camber beyond keeping track of the shims that came out when I disassembled the front suspension. On toe, just used a tape measure on tire tread rib front and back. Just can't get it very close that way but it was only 4 miles to the alignment shop. Also, it's getting the shims close that saves work for the alignment guy. Toe is an easy adjustment even if it's off by a relatively large amount.

Not a huge amount of non-stock items. All the control arms and front sway bar are factory stock to this car.
KYB Gas-A-Just shocks on all 4 corners. These are the most economical choice of all available mono-tube design shocks which are superior to the twin tube design.
Non-stock items up front:
Moog 5273 coil springs
Energy suspension polyurethane control arm bushings
Energy Suspension polyurethane sway bar and end link bushings.
Rear:
Air Lift 1000 #60744 air bags (10psi) inside factory stock coil springs
Boxed-in lower control arms.
Frame to upper control arm braces
1" rear sway bar

Also keep in mind that I've probably reduced the weight in the front by using an aluminum radiator, A/C compressor and intake manifold. Mini starter too. I'm guessing a 100 lb reduction over stock over the front wheels.
