The tracking is normal.
Part of it is due to the suspension, but the greater part of it is going from a mushy 15" wheel/tire combo to what you have. Having the front end aligned may help somewhat, but you're not going to get ride of it. If you're driving on a decent road, it shouldn't be too bad (just keep your hands on the wheel...I'll stop right there ;-)).
BTW, did anyone mention these wheels on your car are simply striking!? I saw these rims on a black MB at work last year...my jaw dropped! So watch out when you're driving down the road for people that find themselves looking at your wheels instead of LOOKING AT THE ROAD!!!

OK, now I'm worried.
I still have my 17" by 8.5" sitting here, won't be
installed until the end of March, when the body
shop is done with the car. Also, they have
235/40 17 rubber on em. I already heard about
the tracking thing, but I hope they don't rub.
Are the Intrax springs lower than the Eibach
pro kit? I'm starting to regret having gotten
the 235s instead of the 225s

I wish I could give you comforting words RE: rubbing, but I threw the
rule book out the window as soon as mine started to rub. I just don't know what to expect anymore! I'll advise you if I encounter a solution. Ahem, WHEN I find a solution.

Thanks for all the compliments and advice, guys! Sounds like tracking is okay,
but a solution for the rubbing is priority number 1 right now. I look forward to seeing all you CO folk soon.
