The strut towers have moved inward, because of the lack of support. Push them out with a brace and camber returns. Even with a brace, caster/camber plates are usually needed if the car has been lowered.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. Makes perfect sense.

I agree with the others, Rich. The can ran well. Everything is still intact. You're not far away. As they say, "If it were easy, everyone would be doing it".
