So its not a problem if you go get it aligned and they shift the struts to help with camber. But by taking out those pins if they just tightened them randomly they will be out of position slightly. So alignment and adjustment should be a priority.

Thanks Bud. Alignment seems spot on, he did recommend checking the alignment again once the lowering springs settles

Don’t just go by feel, let the springs settle and go make sure everything is in spec. It will give you peace of mind.

You can cover it up with the OEM hole seal (or any heavy duty sticker) to minimize the eyesore, wipe down with rubbing alcohol and apply. Don't think the FL5 has a triangular bracket that gets in the way like it does on the FK8 strut tower, so should have easy access.

Very normal, they'll need to remove the pin to adjust camber. I usually end up covering the holes with these after they do.

is it just me, or does that look like they wanted to go positive in camber? Or maybe I'm looking at it wrong
