Pull it back apart the black wedge plastic retainer that bearing assembly goes on isn't orientated properly which will cause excessive positive camber while turning.

son of a bitch, i thought something didnt look right the other day, i was sitting outside looking at the car and swore that it looked like positive camber in the front. Getting sick and tire of taking this front suspension apart.

Why the hell does every strut mount say not for 18 inch wheels. There has to be a difference. WTF. That's a lot of work to keep taking that ****** thing apart to dick with it.

There's not a difference I've had ever manufacturer strut mounts apart when I turn them into coilover Mounts for people. The only difference is bushing size which does not effect performance or shape and placement of the strut

I take it your running the coilover strut package from zzp with the 30mm sway bar so you dont need the link tabs on the strut?

Negative I built my own coilversion and have custom spherical bearinged camber plates I ride on my old thread is on here somewhere. And no I have 34mm front sway. My goal was to have everything suspension related built before I throw a additional 250whp on this chasssis
