Quick alignment question.

I have evo mr with swift spring.
I went in for alignment today, and tech can only bring spec to -.6 in front driver side. Passenger front has -1.5 and both rear been set to -1.0 with zero toes (or .01)
They claim that I need camber bolt to fix front driver side camber. From what I know, camber bolt isn't nessarary if car isn't lowered as much as 2 inch or so and people are getting this alignment spec without a problem.
Should I try different place for alignment? Or just get camber bolt and have them fix it. BTW, I have free lifetime alignment from Firestone.

There should already be a centric camber bolt the goes through your strut. So you don't need to BUY a bolt. Hopefully they were talking about camber plates anyway. When you sit in the car in should gain a little more camber but i don't see why the driver side has such a difference. Someone else had your same problem recently.

Well, I turn centric bolts around and went in for alignment again this morning.
I was able to get -1.3 on driver front and -1.4 on pass front.
Car seems to handle little better with no pulling than before.

+1 ... I was going to suggest rotating the bolt. It seems you already fixed your issue ...

If the shop couldn't figure that out, then I recommend you never trust them with your car again.
