How long does it take to do a 4 wheel alignment? Dealer had worked on my car for 4 hours trying to do the alignment and nothing they told me i have to bring it back cause they need more time to to get it set. this are the current measurements those of you that know about alignment how bad is this?

your dealer has a problem. i took mine to a real alignment shop and it took about 2 hrs to install and align the camber kit

I wish everyone posted that sheet with these questions.
The front needs to be leveled out, I would kick the left in to match the right, zero the toe. You have too much camber in the back. Knock it back to -1 or so, zero the toe. It shouldn't be taking all that long.

When I lowered my car on coilovers I brought it to a shop to have it set - took an hour. The following year I lowered the car some more after winter so I got the alignment checked again. This time it took almost 4 hours...they kept fiddling with the camber plates up front. Bastards.

Same for me, close to an hour for all 4 wheels, unless you would have something really foked up..or they don't know what they are doing..

I still ended up having to pay 40$ for the time they spent trying to do the job and to finish it they sayed its going to cost almost 175-200$more. they are out of there fokn mind. no nothings foked up. they just dont kow what they are doing. i even left them the instructions for the camber kit.

That's a looney price for an alignment kid. The most I've paid is $70, although I've been quoted over $120 before. Just take your car somewhere else bro, they might end up foking it up even more..just mo

firs I'm going to call the Honda corporate office. and file a complaint against them. I called another dealer and they told me the same as you guys that it shouldn't take more than 1.5 hr.

my dealer didnt need instructions for my camber kit, they knew what they were doing. is there not another dealer you could take it to?

first off dont give your car to the dealer for an alignment especially if you are dropped and have a camber kit. take it to a good independent shop who should have the experience to align a car with a drop in a decent amount of time. the guy that does mine does my alignments in less then an hour. that includes hooking up the equipment to the car, aligning it, and removing the equipment.

It not that hard to do an alignment on a civic. the toe is a matter of loosing a bolt on the tie rods and adjusting them. the camber is a matter of loosening a bolt and moving the assembly back and forth. same with the rear. Give or take a few steps.
I just think they have either someone new doing it, or someone with no alignment experience.
