2015 Mustang Gt just installed new Eibach Sportline Springs, Need some advice!

Alright so I decided to get the Eibach Sportlines to drop the car down as the stock base GT 18's had a large wheel gap for my liking and I wanted it gone.

The good: Boy did it do the job filling that fender gap and the handling now seems like it's on rails. Absolutely no body roll to be seen when cornering, braking or hard acceleration.

The bad: I knew I would have to get the car aligned after I took the suspension apart to install the new spring kit but the rear camber is insane right now. As well as the car tracking right to a slight margin. My local (shitty) alignment shop I brought it to today has the rear cambers at L= -2.2° and the R = -2.6° !! They said the car was too "new" to align and I would have to wait for parts to come out to counter my alignment issues and that was it. I don't like this answer and I know I can get the car to at least track straight and do maybe something about the camber. I mentioned the camber bolts in the rear indepent rear and the technician said he didn't know what I was talking about. On top of the camber issue, the questionable alignment shop said my front Caster was out L = 8.5° and R= 7.8° a .7° left favor and that was all because I "didn't replace the struts" when I installed the springs. And nothing else could be done to avoid the right pull of the car while moving. Keep in mind the car only has 1900 miles on it and the only suspension work done is the springs.

Moving on: What are my options to proceed with keeping the sportlines? What do I have to live with if I do? (rear camber etc) What parts can I purchase to help out? (adj tow-links, camber plate) What type of shop would better help me when I get set up to get it aligned again?

I would LOVE to keep the car lowered as much as it is right now, and I know I can get closer to a straight ride without removing them.

Thanks for taking a look!

Quick question concerning a dealership quote.

So my 2001 v6 seems to have forgotten how the whole being house broken thing is supposed to work and it's leaving little puddles all over my driveway.

I took it to the dealership and they told me the rear main engine seal is probably shot and then they quoted the cost of dropping the tranny & replacing the seal + labor ect.

Cough, wheeze...

As a student I just wanted to make absolutely sure I'm not paying more than absolutely necessary since I keep reading about people getting it done for a quarter of the price. Does $1013.05 seem right here?

Thanks for taking the time to read!

Best time to get a new 15' Mustang?

Hello everybody!

I was wondering when the best time of the year would be to buy a new Mustang, or car in general I suppose?

I heard that some car companies have specials during October and November to get rid of the old lot or something like that. Is that true?

My husband and I have the money and means to get one now, but if waiting 2 months will save us $5,000 or give us better buying options like "0 apr for _________ months", should we wait?

I know a lot of those deals have terrible after effects like "0 apr blah blah", but after that timeframe is up, they hit you with a crazy rate. Does that sound accurate?

My husband is looking into getting a 2015 GT with most of the upgrade options (Track package... I think that's about it really).

Any advice or help you can give us is appreciated.

Thank you so much for your time!

Oh, and what do you guys pay for insurance if you don't mind me asking?

My husband is 23/M in Houston (area) Tx. Clean record.
