Matt is a very upfront kind of guy and if he was made aware of the problems would take care of you or as I said at least advise future buyers of any mods that would need to be done for proper fitment.
I did call Matt and he hadn't heard of the misalignment issue before, was willing enough to help and asked for pictures of the completed installation. I wasn't angry or anything I just gave him a call with an FYI. I appreciate that he's got these way cool things for the VX and since I like working with my hands and mechanical things I enjoyed doing the final fitting. The ball joints I used were after market not OEM so perhaps that was part of the problem. Also, the expense of them powder coating the parts certainly would have upped their cost and maybe some people wouldn't care one way or the other that they're unpainted. This topic was an opportunity for me to describe an installation that maybe not everyone has done so I wanted to let everyone know of my difficulties.

The VX is about looks in addition to performance and the extreme lower links greatly compliment the overall appearance so even though I know there is not performance advantage it is worth the cost to me. These Indy4X extreme links should have been OEM on the VX.
