On my previous cars (00' civic si, 01 a4, 04 gti), there were pretty much no problems with alignment. On and off the rack in no time. I took the S2K in to get it aligned after putting on my Tein S-tech's and they had it on the rack for 1.5 hrs. As far as I can tell its aligned correctly but it was definitely more work than any other car I have dealt with.

I need to get mine aligned. Ive had the teins on for about 3 weeks and they have settled very nicely. What are the recommended specs for the s with a 1'' drop?

Depending how low the car is, they won't be able to meet the stock camber spec. The spec is -1deg 30' It sounds like they are trying to adjust it to 0.

I'm lowered an inch, and can get a little more than 2-degrees negative in the back without any trouble.

Here are the US and UK specs:



EDIT: Note that this is for MY99-01 cars. I don't have specs for other MY cars.
