like title states... how many miles should i put on them before i get a corner balance and alignment? Thanks, appreciate it.

 

Immediately.

 

The day you install them you should
Corner weigh it
then
align it.

If you wait to align it, you will kill your tires.

If you did not correctly reset the bushings to your new ride height, you'll wear them out prematurely, and could have the suspension "settle" a little over time changing your alignment.

Other than that, just the tire wear.

thanks... i preloaded all my bushings prior to tightening the bolts.

 

particularly I think he may be talking about the rear trailing arm donut bushing.

The only bushing that cannot be reset without a special tool?

I ignored that when I lowered mine a little over a year ago, and reset the rest. 2000 Integra GSR, 70k miles, daily driven, autocrossed in STS class, and HPDE use. All my original bushings still seem to be in great shape, except for the big trailing arm bushings, which show cracks (nearly as bad as my 214k mile 91 LS).

Whether its the track abuse, or the lack of resetting it that has caused it to start to fail before the others, no clue. But I did not reset it, it is wearing out sooner than the others, and will be replaced soon.

 

The big TA bushings typically fail before the others anyway, even on stock cars.
