Red face Alignment Problem

Ever since i got TEIN my car hasn't been holding the alignment very long... i think this is a problem of bad installation as well as the rough ride of the TEIN makes the alignment loosen faster, does anyone have experiance with stiffer suspension mis-aligning faster? any advice? anyone know best alignment shop in T.O. area? how often should i align to fix this problem? really pisses me off.

Sasha, guys with Teins....PLEASE advise me right. I have already dealt with the steering vbibration problems with the GS, and returned my L-tuned S&S for the TEINS (not installed). I have stock 17's and have my car balanced, rotated, and aligned freq. and would hate to have more problems. Wouild the L-tuned be better of as being more conservative or should i still go for the Tein CS's?

You are not alone in this fight my friend. i have had to get my GS looked at many times. 3k later i found out that the suspention needs to be looked at every 2k miles for adjustment. Tein did not tell me this so do not take it to heart. it is just funny that i am also having the same problem

Sasha,

My car hasn't had any alignment problem since the installation took place 2 years ago. I asked the dealer to check the alignment everytime I take my car in for service but so far so good. As you know, my stiffness setting follows what Mr. Yukiko Takeno recommended.

If your coilover has this problem constantly, I'd tell you to contact Tein U.S.A. for technicial support.
