Default Finally got my car back! :)

I felt like a little kid when I picked up my car this weekend. I was so happy to finally have it back home in a dry place.

I recently went back to my factory CR suspension, and I had an alignment done on Friday to factory specs.
I was just curious how many of you guys, if any, have your alignment set to the UK specs? I've read its pretty popular.



Here are some pics from after I picked up the CR

Yep, they have a more aggressive setting than the USDM, but if I wasn't sure how they were in comparison to CR spec.

Prior to the release of the s2k in the UK, a lot of the people giving reviews, said that it could turn in better. So Honda UK, spent 2 or 3 days at a track trying different alignments. They ended up running more camber in the front and rear, along with more caster. I was going to run the UK alignment but decided to go more aggressive with my non-staggered.

I was running the uk setup, but after installing the new coilovers just went with the stock settings while i dial in the ride height.

I have the UK spec. Im not sure how much a difference it made alone, because I had it done when I had my larger front sway put in. Its supposed to help with twitchiness, so it might be something to consider since the CR suspension is closer to my early AP1's original setup in stiffness.

I ran them in the summer but I m back to stock for now. The only real down fall is the UK runs toe in the rear so you will go through tires a lil faster but the car is more stable but I can feel a difference in every little thing I do.

I know Dave had it on his Rio - from what he said - the front wear on the inside much faster.
