Alignment I just switched back to factory springs and KYB struts from lowering springs. I had to do this in order for the sway bar to clear the turbo discharge tubes following my APS install. The front of the car is now ridiculously high and I am wondering if a severe out of alignment condition after the K member install and the Strut / Spring change could cause this. Any help is greatly appreciated

Alignment shouldn't affect the height. I guess if something is bent somewhere it could cause a problem. Also, have you at least rolled the car around a little bit? They'll settle after you put some miles on them. I don't know if you have to seat the springs properly in the shocks or not, I've never had that setup, but if you do that could be a problem (I don't think you do though). Something cool for you would be some drop spindles, keep everything suspension wise the same, just move the wheel up. Racecraft sells them for 500, but I can't tell you if they are strong enough.
