not yet!!! i will be getting them done tom or sometime this week...my car has no aftermarket wheels and pretty slam with my ap2 wheels. I just want a simple alignment spec that i can show the mechanic on what to adjust the car for...( just a semi-aggressive so my tires does not have extreme unevenwear)

I would suggest you take it to the honda dealership because other places don't seem to really be able to do a decent job on this car in my experience. Its worth the little extra coin to me. But just get it aligned back to factory specs. They should have those in their computer. If not run! The factory alignment on this car is fairly agressive to begin with.
il try to do that but im afraid that they cant be able to put it back to the stock spec since the car is lowered. If anything, they will get close to spec. Il probably do that...and just take it to the dealership...or some local alignment shop..

I hate the fact that my Honda dealership requires to put the stock 16's back on. Apparently their alighment equipment can't go on the 18's. I would think the alignment would be off a little switching from 16's to 18's. I'd check around some local places that do alignments for race cars, they seem to do a pretty good job of standard car alignments as well.
