Default Alignment after lowering questions... doing Eibach Prokit

Those of you that have lowered your S with this kit, can you tell me how the alingment went? Were they able to get everything within specs? Did you have it aligned right away or did you wait for a while after it was lowered?

Having the springs installed Monday and just need to know what to do for the alignment.

Thanks!

Its best to get the alignment right away, that way you don't start to wear the tires the wrong way. The honda dealer should be able to get the alinements very close to specs, if I remember correctly all but 1 or 2 and both of those are very close to factory specs.

Have fun!! You'll love they way the ride!

Hmm...ok, but the place that is doing the springs will be doing the alignment. Hopefully they'll be able to get it close. I just wanted to make sure I didn't need a camber kit or any aftermarket parts to get it to factory specs.

Thanks!

I have the Eibach springs. I aligned my car to the U.K. recommended specs. The car handles so much better. If you don't mind a little extra tire wear it's definately the way to go.

I'm not wanting extra tire wear. Wanna keep the tires as long as possible. Looking for the settings that will do this.

But you both are saying you did NOT need a camber kit or anything to get it within specs, correct?

The car will drive like shit until you get the alignment done. You'll probably do fine settings wise.

Actually they don't make a camber kit for the S. You should be fine with the drop you will have. I on the other hand need one b/c my car is lowered 2".

No you do not need a correction kit. The S has an adjustable suspension. They will use that to correct the camber.
As a side note I have found a correction kit for the s2k, but I know you don't need it with this setup.
