Question For The Suspension Gurus
Ok, so last week I installed the following on my TSX: Eibach Pro Kit, Comptech 22mm rear sway bar, Comptech titanium strut brace, Ingalls camber kit & a black Injen CAI (not related to the question in any way). I have not had the car realigned yet, so the camber & toe are off (my alignment appointment is on the 22nd of this month). The car is tracking very strangely now. The ass end feels extremely floaty in corners & on straights & it's not very confidence inspiring when this is occuring. It almost feels like the rear tires are trying to track in opposite directions & that's why it feels like the rear is shifting from side to side. Please tell me that after alignment it will go away. :'(

I don't think going back to factory lower arms will change much, so save yourself the time and energy. The alignment should fix your problems...lowering the car will change a lot in respect to your alignment. My car drifted sideways until I got my alignment done, and felt like I was all over the road. Got the alignment done and feels good as new!

The alignment was performed today & I won't be able to drive it until tomorrow. I've been at work since 8 this morning & will be here until 8 tomorrow morning. My wife took it in for service & I'm driving her Civic Si today. She claims that it feels perfect now...just like she remembered it feeling in the stock configuration. That's just based on her opinion & an hour drive back from Nashville...so we'll see tomorrow.

Your car will feel a lot better. Trust me cause I installed mine the night before my alignment. And even when I matched the lenghts of the camber kit and the stock rods the toe was so off. I had to do adjust it myself till it looked like it was stright. I'm sure if you let the alignemt shop install your camber kit instead of installing it and wait for the alignemt a few days later, you wouldn't have felt the rear trying to shift. But anyways. Enjoy your car with new suspension setup!!!
