im lowering my ap2 on tein s tech springs, im gonna let the springs settle in for about 2 weeks before i get an alignment, should i go with standard? or uk specs? will i feel a big difference at all and which is better, i just dont want my tires wearing unevenly.
And where can i get the uk alignment specs?

 

I know with the UK alignment your tires will wear a good bit faster. Some have told me twice as fast. Doubt it is that quick though.
I have the specs on my other computer. If no one posts them up I will get it from my other comp.

 

I use the AP1 UK specs.

Are there also different UK specs for the AP2?

I also have an AP1 and have been on the UK alignment for quite some time now. It's great, I love it. But then again, I swapped over to Koni's and got the AP2 wheels too at roughly the same time. But it is soooo much more stable than my AP1 wheels with stock non-UK alignment.

 

Your link seems to point to the AP1 specs, as the Honda bulliten is the same one I'm using, and is clearly for AP1's only.

Clearly, this says MY99-01 ONLY.

So, I'll ask again; Are there unique UK specs for the AP2s? If so, somebody needs to post a copy of the Honda UK bulliten. If not, AP2 owners need to stop worrying about UK specs, because they do not apply to the AP2.

 

i was posting that for the OP. I have never heard of different specs for AP2s.

ok so just go with us specs? and wait at least a week after the springs are installed to do the alignment??

 

That's what I'd do, although I'm not sure I'd wait for the alignment. We aligned my car right after installing the Pro Kit, and didn't have to do it again in a couple weeks, becasue the Eibach springs didn't "settle." The ride height didn't change after the spring install until we installed the supercharger, and there, the extra weight up front lowered the nose slightly. It all depends on the springs; Some will settle to their design height immediately, and some will take a while. One of the reasons I went with a Pro Kit is because the Eibach springs have a reputation for retaining the ride height after installation (ie: no settling).

Don't forget to preload the suspension before tightening everything back down. If you don't, the ride height will be too high, and will never settle.

Once you have the car lowered and aligned you can do quite a bit of "tuning" by making small changes to the alignment, so if the stock AP2 specs don't suit you, you can always tweak them around a little.
