Simple physics.. if the car isn't settled after fresh install and cruise, it'll change periodically throughout. Why fuck around and wear your tires unevenly. Align it, then realign few months down the road.

Because most people will install, test drive, come back home, adjust the height or damping, and keep adjusting throughout the week or so...get alignment when you're happy with the settings.

right, I'm not happy with the front.
will play some more tomorrow.


went with 12kg front and 10kg rear.

Because Acura doesnt specify their spring rates, I can only guess. i believe the rear aspec springs to be about 450 lbs/sq. in.
I should have done the math before i pulled the trigger
but with my 10kg rear, it works out to be 560 lbs/ sq. in.

I would love for the rear to be a little stiffer now that I know the maff, but so far I'm happy!

seriously though...congrats, friend...I'm happy for you. Having the ability to adjust height and rebound is a big step up. Especially since in your situation, racecar.

Anyhow, just chilling back at the hotel now after a day of driving around the Banff area...weather was decent considering the forecast said rain all day.

It only came down hard (actually, it was sleet) around 6:30PM just as we were ready to head back to the hotel to put the little guy to sleep. One more day, Mother's Day brunch at the Fairmont Banff Springs and then, head back home.

You guys are nucking futs. Unless you're raking the ride height, it should make very little difference.

That's awesome H! Lil Cha looks like he's enjoying his first big adventure in the woods! I'm still amazed how cold it is up there.. it was in the 90's again today. Beautiful but hot.. Only getting hotter.

Fucking Eminem.. I hated his ass because he was a fucking clown and disrespected his mom, mother of his child, etc.. Just thought of him as a whiny bitch. Glad he's grown the fuck up. Loved this melancholy video. Love the line where he says he cringes when he hears his old shit..

Who's cutting onions?!
