Not properly. You'll need an alignment every time you change your settings.

A regular alignment shop just changes toe-in and toe-out settings and keeps the camber and caster untouched, since they really cannot fiddle with any of it usually on many cars.

On the Evo of course, you can change the camber a little by adjusting the bolts on the top of the strut towers, or so I've read. But only somebody who knows what they are doing should attempt this. Many people with aftermarket suspensions get what are called "Camber Plates" that allow them to adjust camber with more fine grain control and a greater range of settings.

I got -2.4* of negative camber up front out of my stock setup just by flipping the camber bolts. You'll need an alignment afterwards though.

if i go to a tuner shop and tell them to adjust the camber a little into negative setting for the rubbing issue, do they know what i am talking about? or they going to sell me a new suspensions with the camber plates? is akuma motorsport in nj a good one?

Most "tuner shops" don't do alignments, you will need to goto your regular alignment shops such as brakes plus, tires plus, etc, whatever alignment shops you have in the area.
