From JAG:
Camber F = -2.5 deg
Toe F = -.19 deg
Caster = 4.0 deg
Camber R = -1.5 deg
Toe R = 0 deg

You may want to try maybe slighty less rear camber. The front is actually perfect for DD use with no unusual wear patterns. The 2.5 degress toe was obtained using a bottle jack on the spindle while tightening the flipped strut bolts.

I am also running a perrin rear sway bar with the endlinks set in the middle position on the sway bar. MAP sold me the bar for $169.00.

Then he takes a couple out to beat on them. I'm a little surprised that he went SSS. The comfy features must have won him over. :)

Too much time hangin' with me, he's getting old! ;)

+1. The bolts that they send with it are a little annoying but it's a very nice mod that's cake to install.

I am contemplating between the Eibach Prokit vs. Swift springs, and the Whiteline (27mm solid) vs. Cobb (27mm hollow) rear anti-sway bar. I ran the Swift/Whiteline combo on my IX.

Definitely easy. I installed a Cobb rear bar on a local X MR (stock springs) and it took me a total of 10 minutes to drop the stock bar and install the Cobb bar.

I'd get the swift, but obviously that is opinion. I have heard the Eibach lower too much and you will hit the bump stops sometimes. The Eibachs look great, but the swifts seem to be better handling which is what I cared about.

I see one bad thread about the whiteline Rear sway about not being able to install it right, but might of been that guy not knowing what he was doing.

I like the mount/bushing design of the Whiteline better (the grease fittings on the Cobb mounts are really nice though), but prefer the lightweight hollow bar of the Cobb better.

Just picked up a set of brand new Mynes hood dampers for $60 shipped :D

Pulling the exhaust is pretty much all the time spent on it.

The Swifts are certainly the most popular.

With a dual-exit exhaust you definitely have to drop it but maybe you could work around a single can.
This was with the stock exhaust, luckily clearance was great.
