So, thought I would update the thread. I ended up getting the RSS LCA's. Really wanted the Elephant Racing threaded type but apparently they are like hens teeth and of course I had just missed the last set and new ones weren't ready from the machine shop in time for my needs. I found the RSS only 3 hours from me.

I'm going to the alignment rack tomorrow after corner balancing myself (I have mechanical scales), so we'll see what values I get.
To recap, I've installed H&R coil overs front and rear (no spring rates from H&R other than progressive). I installed the LCA's with 13mm worth of shims each side, and am running 25 1/8"- 25 1/4" ride height to fender(center of hub) all the way around. Corner weights are in the optimum range as I saw posted here recently (6xx's front just over 8xx rear). In the rear the only replaced part other than shocks are the rear toe links.

I'll report alignment values once we get off the rack. If I don't get -3 camber up front, I think I'll wait for the rest of the alignment until I can get it. Will need to order more shims. I have a couple weeks left until VIR.....
I'll check the LCA's and steering rods for "level" or other, which may be another reason to jump down off the rack early. I know if either point north while static, that's bad and so I'll have to figure out how to adjust those issues.
Thanks everyone for chiming in, been a big help

At that ride height, you may find that your LCA's are "over center", which you obviously know is not optimum.

Good luck.
