Does anyone know of a place that sells Alignment Kits, this allows you to adjust the vehicles camber back to factory specs, it helps when you have lowered your car.

 

There needs to be a huge sticky at the top of this forum that says:

You do not need a "camber kit" after lowering an EVO with springs. You can get it aligned just fine to street settings with the stock adjustments.

I saw one in one of the tuner magazines. I will post them as soon as I find it.

 

You don't need a camber kit.

You can get camber plates or bolts to get more adjustment, but you do NOT need one to get back to normal street specs. Anyone who tells you otherwise is confused.

I'm with Andrew on this one ... unless you've completely SLAMMED the car you are fine with stock adjustments. If you are looking to get a good track alignment you might need camber plates up front, but that should be it.

 

Well I took my car in to get an alignment and they said that they need more adjustment in order to get the perfect stock setup, so i still need to find a kit.

 

They are wrong, don't know how to use the stock equipment on the Evo, or something is wrong with your car.

Take your car somewhere else.

Thanks I never really trusted Les Schwab for alignments but just went there for there close locations. Do stealerships do alignments?

 

Yes, I got mine aligned yesterday at a Ford dealership. I was recommended to a certain tech that would do a good job and set it up how I wanted, and he did just that.

 

Why didnt you go to a Mitsu dealer to get the alignment?

 

Ive gotten 2 bad alignments from the mitsu dealership by my house, and my car is still on stock suspension.

 

I dropped mine 1.75" and mitsubishi couldn't get it aligned. They said they ran out of adjustment on the coilovers. Would camber plates do the trick?

 

Which coil-overs? I am guessing ones without a camber plate. Did they install the camber bolt correctly? Using the -2 bolt selection and -1.75 in lower, you should see a true camber of -2 or more.

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

 

Before you take your car to the dealership make sure to ask them if they have an onsite alignment rack or if they take it somewhere. I almost took mine to a local Mitsu dealership and when I asked them if they had an alignment rack they said no, they just drive it to the local firestone lol. Which didn't make me happy because if I didn't ask they wouldn't of told me tsk tsk tsk.
