So I've been driving on my hotchkis springs for a while now and haven't had the chance to get an alignment until this morning. I went to several places and was told I was too low to get on the rack. My car is not that low. I finally found an independent shop that was specifically an alignment shop. Without surprise, my car got on the rack without a problem.

The first thing I got from the people at the shop is the same thing I have heard some of you have experienced. "there is no camber adjustment for the front." Then they said that they didn't have specific specs for the evo, just the 04-05 lancer. Things weren't sounding good but I played along (half asleep since I work late nights).

here is where I need help. I don't have a scanner but here are the numbers.

The car didn't drive poorly before nor does it perform poorly now. I'm more concerned about my tires. I really doesn't seem as if they changed much. In fact, I don't know if they changed camber at all. Money is money. MY $70 is gone now I just want to know if this is to spec since they didn't have any evo specs to compare it to. Thanks.

Next time I'm going to take the advice I just read and go to firestone. There isn't one in my town. The nearest one is almost two hours away but they offer an alignment deal with a lifetime warranty. I just called and they are running a special for $129 for the life of your car. I found that about two hours too late. Sorry if I was long winded but please help me out.

 

I glanced over the specs, I run less camber on the street, but 1.8 should be fine.

Your alignment looks fine. But you only posted before specs, where are the after specs?

 

Sadly, I had to explain the camber bolts to the dealership today because they claimed the fronts could not adjust at all. That explains why the left and right are so far off on the fronts. You would think a "Mitsubishi Certified Tech" would know that. But no, I had to adjust the passenger side bolt for them and return it for a correction.

The dealership would not provide me an updated copy of the corrected alignment sheet so I have no clue what it's set at now. My best guess is -2^ front-left -2.2^ front-right. But then add to to it that I have a crooked steering wheel still. 6 hours and $99 later I still need an alignment.

I had -1.8 on one side and -1.4 on the other. Then I found the post about our camber bolts and set them myself now I need to have the toe rechecked.
