West End Alignment; you will need to setup an appointment 2 weeks out, but he did a great job corner balancing and aligning my nsx last month. The owner's name is Darrin.

another satisfied client from west end alignment...i agree he does great job on NSX's...
What about in the Pasadena, San Gabriel, or West Covina area? Any reccomendations for wheel allignment?
travel to Gardena; I came from South Orange County, others drive from San Diego, etc.
If you're looking for an alternative EF1 Motorsports in Long Beach (Fabrizo) is good, he did all the suspension work on my BMW's... Darrin is less expensive, and has a huge reputation... the drive was about the same for me either way.
Just called West End. Darrin is booked for the next 2 weeks.
My issue is this......I will be installing Eibach springs on my NSX today and will need an allignment. Can I drive my NSX for 2 weeks untill I see Darrin without the allignmnet? Please advise.

As long as you are not going on a road trip the minimal wear in a couple of weeks should be fine.

Drive on the stock wheels or the wheels with the crappy tires. I dropped mine about 7/8" and it like doubled or tripled the wear rate on mine. I hope to get mine aligned today since I got in 4 new tires.

I always wait 2 weeks anyway when I install new suspension components. It gives them time to settle. My experience with lowering cars is that something ALWAYS settles (even if they claim it won't).
Getting an alignment done right away would therefore be pointless, because 2 weeks later it'll be different (after it settles). Toe settings are affected by the cars height, if the springs settle (lower) then the toe will be affected.
Save yourself the pain and just don't drive the car that much for two weeks. I think anything less than 300 miles should be fine in terms of wear before the alignment.
Thanks for the advice amigos, makes me feel much better. :biggrin:
