The toe should be ok, but who knows?  The guy who did it could well be a 
hack.  I will know next week, I'm going to Ron Wood's alignment guy, and
he kicks ass.. 

The suspension setup RULES.  I had totally shot Bilsteins on there in the
first place, and the thing sat VERY low.  With new ones it came up 
considerably, and almost looks stock.  I expect it will settle somewhat
in the next week or two.  The ride is fine - definitely firm but not at
all punishing.  And the thing handles like a go-kart!  Highly recommended
setup.  I also got the huge Neuspeed swaybars at the same time so I'm
all dialed in.. had some old funky Eibach bars with virtually no bushings
on there before..
