i'll see if it settles more down the road and then get another alignment if its really off. if i want to fix this camber of about -4.25, the guy says 3 piece camber kit and labor cost which would amount to at least 500-800 bucks. i really did not see any of this coming when lowering my car...

anyway, enjoy!






don't know who this is but i've always wanted to say, "stance is universal". yep. scratch that off my bucket list.

I've never been around crown point but San Diego is known to be a bit curvy and some hills. Just be careful as always. Learned my lesson. -.-

Sick looking TSX! I like those wheels! Can't believe how concave they are for only being 9" wide.

I see you mentioned you're running -4 camber and that it would be $500-800 for the kit and install.

The Ingalls kit will run you about $320 (no idea why it's so damn expensive for the 2G TSX)

http://www.heeltoeauto.com/ingalls-e...ord-35623.html

http://www.iapdirect.com/08-honda-ac...kit-35623.html

If you're knowledgeable and can DIY, you can save yourself quite a bit of money. $320 for the kit, saves yourself from the labor that guy wants to charge.

For my 3G TL, my guy charged $110 for install and doing the alignment, so I guess about $60 for installation.

I have an idea of how to install the kit, just not how to align myself. The guy is telling me that I need to buy a 3 piece kit.. I can fix camber with a camber arm by itself but then the toe would be off and not able to be close to factory specs... Which is why he recommended a 3 piece. Is that true? O: but it IS pretty expensive. I feel like I might as well just run natural camber.
