well it seems like every other month i have to take my car in and wait an hour or so to get a stupid alignment because the toe and camber keeps on getting messed up? Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happeing? posssibly bad camber kit i dont think i have bent suspension peices cuz ive never hit anything and i think the alignment place would have said something about it...im just gonna buy the three year alignment so it doesnt really matter but i would like to fix the problem the right way instead of gettting tons of alignments. i talked to the previous owner he said that he had the same problem so im lost..

what size drop? Can you justify the use of the camber kits? If you don't need them, remove 'em and see if that fixed the problem.

like 1.5 in the front and 1.4 in the rear i think i do need them to much tire wear on previous car without them

Off topic, but i'd like to ride in your car sometime soon to see how I like the Comptech springs.

after you get it alinged check your suspention and make sure everything is tight...when i got mine done i drove it home and checked my camber kit and they didnt tighten some of the nuts on the rear kit. so they might be backing out over time.

maybe they are not getting your camber kit tight enough. A lowered car's suspension is jolted a lot more when you go over bumps maybe its coming loose. Or maybe you have a loose front end part. if you want to drive down to webster groves my alignment tech will take a look at it for you. he is the best in the company (dobbs).

well, if it means anything, my 06 type S was out of alignment after 10k miles. The dealer fixed that under warranty. I thought that was insane that it went out that quick. I think something was loose because the car is feeling tight as $%#@ right now :worthy:
