So I had my car dropped to basically a finger gap today on the front and back on raceland coilovers. The installation went ok except the shop was concerned about alignment issues and the tie rod.
Basically after everything was said and done I had a chat with the owner. We all know the suspension geometry on the EP is retarded, he mentioned the tie rod is at his "safe limit" for how many threads are available. He mentioned that there are 2 bolts on some plate, and the alignment machine suggested he install a 12mm OEM bolt instead of the stock 16mm (I think that was the size). He called Honda and they had no idea what he was talking about.
He told me that safety shouldn't be an issue, that was my #1 priority but if they have longer tie rods or some sort of aftermarket part that can fix the issue I should look into it.
Anyone else experience this I'm assuming lots have.
