thanks for all the comments and word(s) of advice. alot of you have helped me in many ways and its much appreciated, thanks again!
 
I would say that now the car is more fun and responsive. Now is the time to start enjoying the car and its limits. Try some HPDE's and autocross events. Find the track days and see just how fast it can go. I had a P5 that in NA form whooped the rx7 I have now.

Noticed where the paint dots are on your front shock mounts.

Did you intend to induce 180 Deg of camber on only the right side or was it just a mess up.

The paint dot on the passenger side is supposed to be 180 Deg from where it is in that second picture..(The first one is where it should be)

The front tires are going to die quickly if that car is a daily driver..

3. Remember the position of the white mark on the top of your upper mounts. They are a type of camber adjustment. When you replace the new coilover, this mark must be in the same place or your suspension will force the alignment out of whack.
