I'm not all too sure if it's a camber problem, or an alignment problem, but my car has been sitting on Skunk2 springs for the last few months, and has started to pull to the right. Will an alignment fix this?

Possibly (and probably most likely). But first, check your tire
pressure (easy to do and sometimes the culprit).

Well i got the alignent done. It was 70 bucks at Firestone, but I tok my car to "Yang's" Auto and they did both the front and rear for 30 bucks. The alignment process is pretty cool. They use lasers and computers, and connect these large satellite pancakes to your wheels.
I HIGHLY recommend that anyone who lowers there car, check their alignment. For 30 dollars it's a must!

Get this- The mechanic didn't even know what kind of car it was! He was like, "this is a Honda?" I told him "yep, it's a civic" and he was like "what?!"

DOES ANYONE SUGEST A CAMBER KIT? DOES ANYONE HAVE ONE FOR SALE?

Here are my results:

-REAR LEFT- -REAR RIGHT-
-2.6 Camber -1.8

WTF... how come your #s are all different?!
i am pretty slammed skunks too... aligned on the same machine too (theres only one kind of laser machine out there right now i believe)

but my numbers are even left and right...
i have 1.4 camber in the front and 2.4 in the rear...
with absolutely no probs for 20k miles now

get your rear checked... how the hell did they get 1.8 in the rear??
