Greg,

You state, "my mechanic still has not been able to get my alignment negative
yet".  Apparently, you and your mechanic are not on the khz!  What is your
real problem?

First, I assume that you are refering to camber, not explicitly referenced
in your dialog. The common 44 chasis problem is excessive negative camber!
This is the/my reason for slotting the stock tower mounting holes, allowing
the strut upper mounting plate to be moved further outboard to its limit.
My strut brace if properly set up, will, among other positive atributes,
further reduce an excessive negative camber situtation.

As I have advised others recently on this subject, If you don't know what
your alignment situation is you can not communicate meaningfully with, or
evaluate the competance of your wrench, who probably knows considerably
less, as a self estemed know-it-all.  DIY at least once to understand all
the neuances of alignment!
