Question Alignment after lowering kit.

Hello I have bought new tires for my RSX-S. I thought I would get a new 4 wheels alignment. My car was lowered before. Does that change alignment specs or they stay to the original specs. Just the note: the car handles terrible now since the new alignment? I thought with new tires it will handles like a dream! Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks in advance...

Re: Alignment after lowering kit.

Did you adjust the camber at all?

Re: Alignment after lowering kit.

How much was it lowered? What was it lowered on?

In most cases the camber will need to be adjusted.

The Eibach springs were installed plus, Eibach - Alignment Kit. It was done before I bought the car. Car was okay before alignment, now it is done to a factory specs. I probably shouldn't of touched it! They did 2 alignment so far but it keeps going out wack. Pulles to the left.
Front pretty much stayed the same. Rear left Camber changed from -1.2 to -0.8, Toe 0.25 to 0.09. Right rear Camber changed from -0.5 to -0.8,
Toe 0.33 to 0.11. Rear Cross Camber from -0.7 to 0.0. Total toe from 0.58 to 0.20, Thrust angle from -0.04 to -0.01.
Please let me know if you need more infor on print out reading?
