I bought the Steeda adjustable strut caps to accomodate the camber requirement and took it to a shop for an alignment.

According to FR Tech (when I got mine) no adjustments are necessary...

Wheel Spindle Pinch Nut: 103 Nm - 76 ft/lbs.
Lower Control Arm Bolt (front): 175 Nm - 129 ft/lbs.
Lower Control Arm Bolt (Rear): 175 Nm - 129 ft/lbs.

Stabilizer Bar Bracket Nuts: 70 Nm - 52 ft/lbs.

Upper Control arm Bushing Nut: 175 Nm - 129 ft/lbs.

Along with that, consider augmenting your purchase with a bumpsteer kit, steeda X5 ball joints (or something to address the suspension geometry), adjustable camber kit, adjustable panhard rod, adjustable upper control arm, and lower control arm relocation brackets. Finally perhaps the biggest difference if you haven't already or if you can without to much trouble, go with a wider summer tire.

Seeing those pics made me realize a few things
  • I chose the right color
  • I should have gone spoiler-delete
  • I should have pushed for AZ more when we moved to MN from OK
