I've never heard of a device^

I too have gotten poor alignment for a mit' dealership. They sometime do treat it like an ordinary lancer.

Find a performance-oriented alignment shop and go there. If you don't know of one, ask the local autocrossers where they go.

I recommend getting -2 to -2.5 up front and -1 to -1.5 out rear. Zero toe, zero thrust angle.

C8 coilovers. They have camber plates up front, but it's the rear that's out of wack. It's off so bad that I just toasted 2 tires today. Totally flat.

Mitsu keeps saying it's the coilovers that are the prob and C8 is saying that there should be no prob..... HELP!!!! Not gonna buy new tires till I get this figured out.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.

Rear is simple. The camber is changed by one of the bolts on the rear arm. Its even indexed with dash marks - if your dealer cant do an alignment - go somewhere else.

Thanks for the help. I will take it somewhere else and let you know how it went. If they have the same problem as Mitsu and say that the range is not enough to align, how should I proceed after that?

Scratch that, I found some Agency Power adj control arms.

Thanks for the help!
