I have an 06 TSX with 04-05 A-spec suspension installed and had an alignment done when it was installed a year ago.

I just got 06-08 A-spec suspension kit to replace the 04-05 one...

my first question is, do i still have to have another alignment done? I replaced an A-spec suspension with another A-spec suspension (just different year).


my second question is, what is the reason we have to do an allignment after lowering the car?


what i notice is the 06+ one is a bit lower! about 1 finger gap lower in the back.


thanks!

 

You said it "06+ one is a bit lower".... Now that your car is a bit lower, everything is a bit out of whack. get an alignment it doesn’t hurt.

 

"A bit out of whack" Good way to put it... And True

rendezvous... How much did the kit cost you??

 

they were free (warranty). But the dealer quoted me $1350 ($900 for parts + $450 labor) before the warranty went through.

how many miles should i drive it before i get an alignment?

 

I would give it about 5-7 days to let it settle before getting an alignment, that is what i did and it worked out nicely.

 

Yes, always get an alignment after making changes to your suspension. As jwood said, drive around for a week or 2, then get it done for the most accurate alignment.
