So are the alignment numbers you posted here before or after you installed the lowering springs?

Looks great! What are you using for side skirts?

Those were before, with the original rear axle, before the replacement one was installed.
Air dam and side skirts are made out of coroplast, mounted with L-shaped corner braces and double-sided molding tape, and secured with Gorilla tape.Looks great! What are you using for side skirts?

This mirage is stunning!!! I am a fan of every wheel you've used vx,hx,stock es, konig heliums are my favorite 15" wheels
Did I say this mirage looks stunning?!
If I didn't use mine to haul people I would love to have this look! Once my mirage is retired.

Check out THIS link. I think this is basically similar to what Cani Lupine has done. He just used chain instead of cable.

That's what I thought.
Everyone is aware this completely over-rides the intentional designed action of the rear suspension?
I cannot fathom this as being a positive permanent addition.
A temporary tool to correct the alignment? Yea bring it on.
It locks the tires together and side loads the beam, when either tire moves independently far enough.

Your first turnbuckle looked undoubtedly strong! haha
This binds up the rear end you must feel it?
Even if you don't care for the style of these wheels, notice that the size and offset (15 x 6.5", 40mm offset) is nearly perfect for a Mirage. The face of these wheels will sit out 1.25" further than a stock wheel...completely eliminating the stock Mirage's funky stance of undersized wheels tucked way too far into the fenders. These wheels are also 2 pounds lighter than a 14 x 4.5" stock alloy wheel.
