Wheel Alignment

Anybody having trouble keeping their wheels aligned? I bought my 2001 with CompuTech springs (lowering kit) and have never been able to keep the wheels straight. I have it aligned with every oil change. I've been arguing with the dealer for the past year they finally gave in and installed camber locks on all four wheels (for $600!). I am still having the problem and I am never going back there (Scottsdale Acrua in Scottsdale, AZ).

I don't think I drive over a lot of curbs but clearly something is wrong unless someone tells me, as the dealer pointed out, that the car is much more sentitive with the lowering kit. Are they snowing me?

Acura, by the way, wouldn't do a thing about it even though the dealer sold me the car with it on (they said it was Acura approved - my fault for being stupid). I was so disappointed with them. The car is no fun to drive anymore. Any thoughts?

I've never heard anyone complain about this problem which is why I brought it up. I wanna know if I am the only one. On the other, maybe everyone does get there wheels aligned more often I thought I should. My last car, Subaru SXV, was aligned like 3 times in 60K miles.

camber adjusters should do the trick. I got mine for my Eibach springs. The rear wheels were just out of alignment slightly. THe camber adjuster for the rear wheels helped. BUT, with stiff springs and having the car lowered, it's going to be tricky driving on rough roads. The car will pull to the side if you hit a groove in the road. Sometimes, it's a battle to keep the car going straight!
