GE alignment OEM specs.
Does anyone have the OEM Specifications for the GEs alignment? I want to get it aligned and want it to follow through with the OEM specs. I am not going through dealer...and im getting aligned cause i lowered my car. thanks.

With camber/toe kits yes he will.
Any decent alignment shop should have a database with the factory alignment specs, unless the GE8 is too new still.

The only adjustment that can be made from the factory is front toe. Front camber and rear toe/camber require shim kits. Try eBay for those.
Once the shop has the specs they should be able to do it. If they can't, find another shop because it doesn't take a genius to figure out the kits.

well here's what i wanted to know:
i dont plan on buying any more kits or what not for the wheels...but my question is, if i do not buy anything and bring the car to the shop as it is, will they be able to align it correctly? thats all i want really..i want my car to drive straight. thanks!

Someone who has more experience with a torsion beam rear than I do will have to tell you whether or not the rear toe will be significantly off.
The toe being off is what causes significant tire wear.
If you take it to the shop try to get a printout of the post-alignment measurements and post up a scan of it for us.
The alignment shims are pretty cheap btw

i can't say for sure about the ge8 fit because i don't have one, but for the gd3, the fronts can be aligned to factory specs, while the rear's driver side toe will be out and cannot be adjusted without some aftermarket shims like people above already said. but even if the rear toe is slightly out of spec, there is absolutely no abnormal tire wear for the gd3. that is the truth.

The Honda online parts catalogue show the same front bolt part numbers from 07-10, the rear hub bolts and hub are the same part numbers but the brake backing plates are different part numbers and there does not appear to be a part number for the spindle that is separate from the torsion beam on the 09-10. This can mean either that the spindle (which you need to shim behind on a GD to align) is either welded to/part of the torsion bar (possible) or you can't buy it separately yet on the GE (also possible).
Anybody had a GE down to the spindle? If so, is it removable?
