Alignment Specs question
Got my alignment done today at a local alignment shop here in town because it's been due and the tires I just replaced were pretty worn on the inside of the fronts.
When I got to the shop I asked them if they had the specs and they said the did and that they were in the computer but I was concerned because it's a smaller shop and I had never done business with them. Once they finished the owner rang me up. They were very friendly and completed the job in a timely manner, however, when I checked the invoice I noticed they had my vehicle logged as a 2006 Lancer with the 2.4l sohc 16 valve motor. At this point I was like wtf and am now concerned that the specs of my suspension are now set to a base model lancer. If this is the case how much different are the specs and will I be damaging my suspension and or frame by driving it for today to go to work?
I am very concerned because I know they must be different and and now I am probably going to have the specs checked at another shop tomorrow.

With the same basic chassis.
In any event, you'd be surprised (it seems) how similar the specs are for the plain Lancer and the Evo. IIRC, other than the things that can't be adjusted, only the front toe was different by anything meaningful.
