he went up there to talk to the service dept and the normal guy wasnt there so he was talking to someone else and they asked him if i was the one who bought the coupe and Dad told them that i had lowered it an gone to someone in powatan to get it aligned so it was obvious who he was talking about, so he just happened to be working that day

he just wanted to ask about solutions to my camber problem without having to spend 3 to 400 on upper A-arms, bc he cant just take my word for it after doing the research

well, unfortunately with these cars, everything seems to cost alot more than a Honda would. That's why when you told me about you getting the Eibachs, i told you you were gonna need the camber kits since your drop was more than mine and i still got front/rear cambers for mine to be on the safe side cuz you either pay now or pay later(tires).

I'm just saying with the fronts not being able to be adjusted at all without having a camber kit then keep a close eye on your tires especially if you get new tires of how fast they seem to wear. If you do notice it even slightly then i would definitely go get the front kit.

There are plenty of times that cars are "unbalanced" side to side as far as alignment goes. On these cars front camber and caster is not adjustable. I've seen plenty of stock cars with low mileage have some of the specs out of range or on the bubble. It all depends on the equipment too. If the alignment rack and the alignment machine have been calibrated recently. There will always be some discrepency from machine-to-machine.

Yeah I had pretty old tires but they seem to be wearing pretty evenly, they werent very far out of spec when pete did the alignment.
