Well short update, I got aligned yesterday am and it felt great for about 100 miles till I hit a small truck tire driving to Timmayfest (couldn't avoid in time) and it threw off the front toe enough to put my steering wheel 3 deg to the right.
Drove the next 300 miles like that with some codes popping up and clearing along the way.
Big ups to Dane for the technical support texting along the way.
Car went back into local Firestone here for alignment again today so I will see how she does soon when I head in to get her.

And this car is officially cursed. Pulled out of the lot, hit a bump, toe goes off the other direction immediately, xmas lights on the dash.
back at the shop and camber plates are coming down to be adjusted and tightened. Hoping that solves the problem.
I'm not sure it should go out that quickly. I've hit hard bumps before but I've remained aligned fairly well. I have the slightest pull to the right, but I need new fcabs, so that could be it.
Charged me $200 to fix camber plates, I leave and wheel is still crooked. I think the issue might be the caster being too forward because my wheels are 255/40/19 and not 255/35/18 in front and its rubbing a lot when I turn? Going back yet again tomorrow at 7am

Well the car went in today at 7am and I got it back AFTER the show (not a big deal it wasn't anything special to show anyway). Hoping its finally fixed but something tells me it's not. This place kept bitching at me about how the techs werent familiar with the camber plates and such and I was thinking to myself the car isn't running -5 camber or anything so the plates aren't really even being used, they just need to be tight and then normal adjustments should be made for alignment but that doesn't change why it keeps getting knocked off. Maybe I just need to raise the front end up because it's rubbing at speed and thats causing it to go off line.
Holy crap. Hope it's fixed...

I just don't know what the hell is still wrong

You ever get the general alignment specs sorted out? Sounds like someone didn't tighten down the plates (or a tie rod, or something) and when you hit a bump they shifted
Gonna raise front coilovers, swap out tie rods and rotors and then redo the alignment.
