Default just got back from my 6th alignment ....ohhh baby

well since i got the car, first week put tein flex w/edfc on..

settled... adjusted... settled.

and took to get race align (caster,camber,toe, thrust angle, corner balance, etc)

since then, ive been testing car on backroads and slightly adjusting from what i feel. trying to get the car VERY neutral but on the extreme end has tendency of oversteer instead of under.. well today was the trick and i finally got it. (175$ per time.. i better have got it... but now since i have my specs and they have in computr im trying to workout a plan to come in 6 times a year and get put back to spec.. for cheaper price)

anywho heres the specs.. and their amazing.. steering has never felt so responsive an nimble and the traction is just to die for.. feels like a totally different car

Tires: 225/50.16 YOKO AVS ES100F
245/45.16 YOKO AVS ES100R

Susp: Tein Flex w/ EDFC (10kg/mm front 12kg/mm rear)

Drop: 2.2F 2.1R

all the corners are preload adjusted (corner balanced) 50/50 side/side 50/50 rear/front to have same weight..

Align:

FRont:
Caster: 6.09L 6.05R
Camber: -2.50L -2.46R
Toe: 0.0L 0.0R 0.0overall

REAR:

when you say preloaded, do you mean corner balance? is there a local Otown speed shop that has a scale?

i wish i could find an alternative way

honda cant get car up on lift,
and i call hunter and all of the local reps wont work on it

its more about me finding someone to take the car rather than finding a deal.. if firestone would work on it i woulda done lifetime long ago and be in there everyweek.

Why can't firestone do it? Lifetime allignment for me... $99

I did get bitched out by the manager after going in again after a month since the last allignment, but I told him to deal with it. He was whining "You're out there racing this thing huh? Every time I get this car alligned I have to pay the people who service it!" -- tough luck buddy, lifetime means $$$.

i dont fit on the firestone rack,

im not gonna have some guy making minimum $ try and cram my car up on a lift it doesnt fit on..

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=391250

shes pretty low,


also cant jack up to put on lift because then unsettles susp.

oh well.. all the "hunter" equipped stores want 150 so im better off staying where im at.. because of comfort .
