"Alignment did not go that smooth though. The Ur-q ball joints ran out
of adjustment and it was
impossible to set it perfectly to my liking. I don't understand it since
most of the components are the
same as the Ur-q, ball joint, control arm, subframe, position of upper
strut bearings, Ur-q shocks? I
will in future take the control arms out and either provide more
adjusment in the ball joint itself or
control arm (make holes into slots)."

After I put lowering springs on my coupe, the left balljoint had to be
maxed out, and still not quite enough camber.  I thought of the slots
thing, too, but looking at the parts there really isn't enough meat
there to go removing metal.  If I had done the conversion, I was going
to try the later Urq ball joints as they are slotted, with my early
control arms, which are slotted - I was hoping for a little extra range
of adjustability.

Let me know what you wind up doing, ok?

Pix look good...
