Alignment Question... - Honda Prelude Forum

I have a question lol

I recently had my SPC camber kits put in along with 205/55/16 winter tires(yes I know thats not the correct size but its all Tire Rack had)and had a 4-wheel alignment
of course, me being in PA and having an SH, the idiots didnt align it right(they dont know how to reset the steering wheel angle sensor) and it still pulls to the right

but thats not my question lol

I have 17" Rotas coming in soon and the tires are all ready here

my car is a bit too low and if I go over big bumps and dips the camber kit/control arm or whatever it is hits the top of the fenders in the front
so Im going to raise it up and take it to Honda and have it done right.....I hope

my first question:

Does a Honda dealership know how to adjust the camber kits???

my second question:

Since they'll be aligning it with the 205/55/16's, will the alignment be thrown off when I put on the Rotas with the proper size 215/40/17's?

Im really concerned about #2 though
I have all ready spent close to $400 in alignments in the 1 year I have owned the lude

TIA

hmmm, if it was me....i would wait till you put the new rims on then get a alingment. i think the 215/40/17 would be shorter than your 205/55/16's. so i would think that would make your alingnment off. not sure if honda would know about camber kits or not, but i wouldn't think it would take a rocket scientist to figure it out. best of luck with your SH,

yea Im gonna wait until my Rotas get here then get an alignment
I just wish they would hurry up and get here, they had to be special ordered cuz they were sold out and no dealers knew when they were getting my specific application in

^that sucks hopefully it will not be long. i am still trying to get used to your lude. just when i was use to the stock w/ c5's then you change to the aggresive kit and now the RS kit. car should look nice w/ the rotas. i really like the shaved sidemarkers and the jdm type fender ones.

Thanks

I promise it will stay like this long enough for you to get used to

ok so I might get a CF hood and trunk and some sort of rear spoiler
