I am planning to drop my 05 by one inch.Wonder if anyone has had experience with a shop in Austin to do the alignment afterwards.Gunn Honda in San Antonio told me they could not do it.I live in Fburg.Thanks for any help.

 

You can go to Soulspeed in Austin. They come highly recomended by alot of the serious racers in the area. Very knowledgeable staff and worth it from what I have heard.

As for the alignment I would say try to keep it close to stock specs as possible. Maybe since you have an 05 I would put a little more negitive camber in the car. Now granted your tires are going to wear faster, but thats just my .02.

Actually, Bryan, negative camber doesn't necessarily have to mean the tires will wear that much quicker. If you keep the toe set very straight, it shouldn't be too bad.

The REALLY bad wear comes from those that lower their car, then don't get an alignment done afterwards and their toe is way out of spec.

It was never a problem on my red CRX with its -2.5 degrees up front.

I would recommend Soulspeed as well. Bill did my alignment too, and I'm pretty happy with it.

 

Ricky thanks for the correction. I was tired when I was responding so I wasn't thinking so clearly. But you are right the camber wont kill tire wear its the toe being out of wack.

if you are looking for someone to lower your car, my advice would be to just ask some guys here on the boards. I lowered my 04 myself and it was a piece of cake. i would be willing to help you out; all you would have to do is bring the car to SA. as far as the alignment afterwards, you are going to want to wait a week or so for the new springs to settle before aligning the car. then just follow bryan's and ricky's advice. I also suggest a slightly more aggressive negative camber setting on the car, as mine didn't have much after i lowered it, and the handling went out the window.
