pretty far off, not sure what the deal is, the rear is even but it's funny because the passenger rear has way fewer rings to go down than the driver rear but the fenders to the ground are even.
The front is still off by .25" so I don't get what the deal is. Somehow I'd have to find a baseline and start over... or just take it to speed and let them get it right the first time.

did you measure it to match?? could be that the springs settled more on 1 side.. maybe you need to hit a back road and power through some corners

The car isnt perfectly 50/50 weight distribution on the fronts especially with the motor/trans.

you mean the 235/45/17 stock michelins?
indoors? are they gonna use that huge service bay?
that sounds damn irritating.
your messing with the ride height over a week now. haha... i'm not that patient and i want perfection right away. that's why i went spring setup this time. but my konis shocks are height adjustable
other news says up to 33 years. so stupid

looks like its a warehouse not service bay area. there service bay is damn huge comared to other dealers too.
just got done studying how to change out the cabin air filter. off to install a new charcoal infused filter
hopefully i don't break any clips or tabs.

it was easy. took a while looking at all those bare metals behind the plastic covering and knocking them (dynamat
) 
filter was damn dirty. small pebbles, feathers, dusts, leaves, etc...
also i took out the heavy sheet of metal behind the glove box door and filled it in with mattress foams. that metal sheet is so heavy and now glove box comes down like a slow motion

looks hot!
Nick at speed laughed at me today lol, told me my car wasn't off at all and it was all an illusion. Told me it was normal to be off a bit on one side and if it's one tire big deal he said it wont affect anything and is not noticable at all.
Anyways he lifted it up showed me how to do it, now the front is 100% even down to a 16th of an inch and the rear is off only by an eighth inch which he said was completely fine.
So I feel much better now
lol

I have seen some user pics on here of the new TL, just not feeling it yet... give it time it will grow on me.
So anyways when I left speed my car was uber dumped lol fender rubbing like a mad man, massive tuck, but even. So got up my courage and raised it up a bit again, can't have all the rubbing going on. So with the guidance I know had I managed to get all 4 corners with a 1/16" how's that for perfect balance? hmmm? lol I have dicked with these things so many times I should be a damn pro by now.

Should have just dropped her off...lol
This show was a bit tooooo long. Turned out being a 10 hour day
I can thank Acura for my mismatched plug...
The cracked paint WAS on the inner portion of the fender which i sanded down and touched up with touch up paint.
Oh and its a slice of humble pie each time someone asks if its a Type-S and i tell them its a 04 and they go ----->
When did you swing through the show??

Also...
Spotted Min, on TV HWY right by 217 as i was leaving the show last night around 630 or so.
Also... Today the car goes up up up. Being this low worked with the ASPECs but im rubbing horribly with the VOLKS. If im not rubbing when turning, im rubbing the top of my fender wells if i hit a slight bump.
Ah Booooo.
