yeah except when i went to the Honda dealer i got jipped MAJORLY :x
i went to get an alighnment after i installed my Teins. they charge $70 anyways... so i get there and the woman at the desk (who happened to be the manager) told me that they would keep me updated on the progress. so i was like "cool." well THREE HOURS later she comes and tell me that my tierods are siezed and that they tried what they could and only got the rears done. they didnt at least set my camber straight on the fronts using my cmaber kit. whatever. they said it would cost me $650 to get new tierods i was like "HELL TO THE F NO" so i pay for their BS work and go home. i change my own tierods in 45 minutes (never even done this before) and payed $135 for all new ones, inner and outer. WELL i go back to get just the fronts done so i figured "they'll prolly just do it for half price" pshh wishful thinking. i go in WITH MY DAD and we start explaing the situation and the guy said that sounds cool, but he needs to talk to the manager. well the bitch comes out and tells me they cant do that. i was like "well i was told that i would get updates on the car and i never did. least you could have said is it cant be done BEFORE you did the rears" she starts acting like she had no idea wtf i was talking about and ask "well whoever told you that was wrong" so i was like "ma'am YOU told me and why am I paying for YOUR mistake?" well long story short i didnt win and had to pay another $70.
i take the car home (after my second alighnment in 2 weeks) and on the way i notice the steering wheel is angled, the left signal doesnt pop back automatically and the right signla pops back way to early. also my right wheel sticks out about 3/4 inch further then the left and i STILL have positive camber (i adjusted my camber kit to the max, assuming they would adjust for me) well the dumbasses didnt. instead they pushed out the LCAs as far as they could. how the hell could they not tell i had an adjustable camber kit?!? also the right wheel rubs in left turns. fags. so we call back a couple weeks later and are like "look the car is not at all done correctly"and they start BS that it IS correct and a machine adjusts everything. im like "i dont care the car is still messed up". i still didnt win.
so much for their 100% satisfaction guaranteed!!!!!
one final thing that pissed me off, they put little scuff marks all along the outer rim on ALL FOUR RIMS. they were brand fricking new wheels too. so basically..
HILTON HEAD HONDA for the LOSE!!!!!!!!!!! :x :x :x

You should have went in instead of calling. Matter of fact....you should have turned right around when you noticed the wheel wasnt straight. Their machine must be off caliber
While we are on the subject, which is better for handling? slightly toed in or out? I'm guessing minorly toed in.
