I went in for a wheel alignment after lowering my car on the spoon progressive springs. I had Evasive Motorsports complete my alignment. They didnt have the FL5 specifc specs so they used the Fk8 specs. They assured me that it doesnt make a difference because they are only able to adjust the toe. I dont have a camber kit or front ball joint installed. I might do it later, but just wanted to get your guys take on the alignment specs. Does it look right? Anyone have the FL5 spec sheet?

Yup perfectly fine. You'll want more front camber eventually if you're going to hit the track though.

I recently posted the spec sheets for the FK8 and FL5:

https://www.civicx.com/forum/thread...-with-offset-camber-joints.84256/post-1260985

The FL5 has slightly more front camber and slightly less caster.

Now why are your camber angles so different side to side? Has your subframe shifted?
thats how it came out after the spoon spring install. I was told that every car comes out different. I cant adjust camber unless I get the fromt ball joints. I was told that zero toe works best… Im thinking if I should request more toe out on the rears, if stock rear
Toe was aggressive from factory.

Your reply just made me realize I wrote "toe out" in that post. That is wrong, I just edited that. Positive toe is toe in.

You can adjust front camber up to 0.3 degree with the top strut adjustment. Not that it's needed, though. Your geometry is fine as is.

I'd post my specs; I'm surprise your camber is so different from left to right.

My camber is nearly equal on both sides; front and rear. The front does have some adjustments as you can pull the pins on top and adjust camber that way. (I didn't have to pull mine)

See mine for reference; I think my alignment is perfect!

I was thinking the same thing. Idk why the front in off and my ocd is kicking in but they said if its in spec its all good. I have 0 toe as well and I feel like my car wonders when i move my sterrong wheel very slight or even resting my arms on the wheel. I might want to toe in just a hair to stop that from happening.
