and springs? If you are running at a near stock height and you are using the lowered setup for your spacers you could be making trouble there.

C springs only lower about an inch and the isos only drop about a 1/4 inch. The lowered setup may not work with so little drop. If I were you I would try throwing one of the long spacers under the bearing and see if you can get it in spec after that. You said that they got the alignment in spec on your passenger side?

That is too weird. Were you in spec when you had the stock plates on?

Colder weather can affect brakes making sound a little bit, but as soon as your rotors and pads get up to temp the outside temperature should not make a difference.

I'm in the same boat. Id say in March I replaced the rearend with new brakes and put cobra brakes up front and I hear squeals and whatnot. The pads and all that are good. I think its just the nature of the beast.
