im lowering my car with megan springs and no shop will touch it without the alignment spec sheet printed out for them. so can someone post a link ? also do i need the factory alignment specs or is there going to be another set since the car will be lowered?

Align it to factory specs. If you have rear adjustable suspension make sure you tell them to do a 4 wheel alignment. Set the rear to factory settings before you go.

The dealer can give you a print out of the factory specs. You might want to add a little negative camber to help with corners. ~-1° is good on all four tires.

Agreed! This is not uncommon.

Just to think 5 or 6 years ago I would look at the honda guys funny when they asked me to do this, sometimes it would be a bit more then 1. But I started to hear about it more and more. You usually only hear it from people that know what they are doing . And now I also tweak mine to my liking, usually takes me 7-8 tries before I am happy. Well until I left Midas. Something to the OP, be sure to get your print out and take a peak at it.
