I started to drive my HFP Si this year and had it in to my local garage and had them swap the 17" Si alloys off and install the 18" HFP wheels for the summer and soon as the 18's were back on the back end of the car felt as if it were moving around, especially if you went into a turning lane and there was a bit of sand on the road the back end of the car wanted to step out.
So i made an appointment with the dealership and took the car in and explained to them what was going on and was told they would look the car over, got a phone call from the service advisor saying that everything looked o'kay but they were going to put it on their alignment machine and check out the alignment on the car. Received another call from the service advisor asking me whether i had installed winter tires on the car and told him that the car was parked all winter and not driven at all, he then went on to tell me that the car was pretty badly out of alignment, 3 out of the 4 wheels were toe'd in and that they would do the alignment on the car and return it to me. When i picked up the car i was speaking with the service advisor and asked if he thought that the car wasn't aligned after the HFP suspension was installed and he told me that doing an alignment on the car after installing the HFP kit wasn't specified in the installation procedure from Honda.
and this is a copy of the alignment sheet that was printed out

So far with this car i have not been overly impressed, the fit and finish of the car when we initially received it was poor, we have had both the interior rocker panel replaced because they were warped, the passenger door was aligned incorrectly, the HFP kit was poorly installed ( in twice to have it tweaked ) the alignment issue above and the motor burns oil excessively.
This is my First Honda, First new car, and so far i am not impressed with the first year and 15,000 kms
