I felt like the car was weighed down quite a bit before the camber kit. I'm not sure how to describe it. I guess it didn't ride as smooth as it did before the drop, especially when on the highway going 60mph+.
Slammed cars aren't for everyone. I think I only like it because I wish I had coilovers and had the option of going that low

Just got my alignment yesterday. After being refused service from both Sears, AND Brandon Honda, I ended up going to my last resort (Tire Kingdom) for an alignment. Sears told me that they didn't want to touch my car because they didn't want to be liable. Honda told me that "because of my wheels", the heads for the alignment machine wouldn't go on. Went to Tire Kingdom, hung out in the shop and helped while shootin' the shit with the guys there, and about 45mins later, I went home.
Camber was around -5.5 degrees and the toe was 1.7 degrees Tires are already tore to hell, and I would say I have way less than 2k miles on them

^^Killer, just get the lifetime allignment from Firestone. Don't know if you have one close by, there is one around the corner from me and the guys are cool (only ~20 minutes from you). Can't beat $150 for lifetime allignment, especially with your coilovers (so you can play with your ride height). Don't know about the wheels being an issue, as I am running stockies. Car looks great!! Keep up the good work!!

Sounds like me unfortunately. I had about 8000 miles on my rear tires until they were shot and had to be replaced. I didn't think they were bad until my back end was shimmying back and forth on the highway going 70 in the rain. Oops.

Yea, with the way it was before the alignment, I wouldn't have even attempted interstate driving The whole car was just floating side to side at 40mph, and got worse with more speed. Now, the car stays in a straight line at least I'll post another phone pic I took while it was up on the rack

My stance looked more like a broken foot It's ok though, with my 5 year plan, I can go back any time I want and throw it up on the alignment rack again for no charge. I have about 1 thread showing on the coilovers, so I don't think I'll be going lower anytime soon
