I would say no. The Ralliart suspension is night and day different from the Evo. You'd be better off going with a Lancer style alignment.

The reason for this is to save my tires. The front inner edge of my tires is shredding off little by little, so a little bit of negative can wear out the tires evenly. Plus Firestone won't custom align my car and their policy stated that they can only stay in the specified factory range specs. In order for me to get them to do this is to go with the EVO X alignment spec.

the standard lancer alignment isn't necessarily "performance oriented". With a customized suspension, i think you'll be ok with using the EvoX specifications.

What are the differences between the two specs? I didn't think they were that far off from one another.

Update:

Got my alignment. Bad news is (according to the manager), our Ralliart cannot be adjusted because it doesn't come with camber kit, but somehow they still managed to even out all four tires to the specified craptory settings( don't know how). Hopefully my tires will last for one more year. But is it true that the RA suspension can't be configure without camber kit?

It has a is very limited range stock.
The front is just an aftermarket bolt 81250 (
Eibach Eibach
,
Ingalls Ingalls
, etc) .
The rear is either a whiteline bushing that needs to be pressed in or wait for an adjustable upper arm to be widely available. (currently a couple in the works)

On a side, but related note, F FIRESTONE! I will NEVER do business with them and there BS "corporate policy". I asked for a simple brake fluid flush and provided the fluid; they said it was not possible as they are "required to use OEM parts and fluid". I'm the f-ing customer, you do WHAT I SAY, not some BS excuse to sell me all you over priced crap (they actually told me I had to buy their crap). I went and got new tires installed yesterday at a different big name "tire person" company, they had no issues with installing the tires I provided; they were not STUPID enough to try and strong arm me into buying there redonkulously over priced rubber by refusing the service.

Mmmmm...good knowledge on the camber bolts for the front. I might be ordering those before I do my RRM Grip springs probably this weekend.

Anyone had any luck with em?

I have both the Ingalls bolts and RRM springs and love the way the car handles for only being on lowering springs
