Alignment Shop question

I was planning on ordering new wheels,tires, and springs (Works) since my stockers are about toast. I have wear on the inside of the wheel so I know my alignment is already in need of adjustment. Do you guys think a shop like Firestone that offer lifetime alignments are good enough to do an Evo ? I was thinking about it just because I know i will have the car for years and the lifetime alignment would be really nice.

Also do shops usually have the tool to keep the TPMS synced when I go to get my new wheels put on, or is that a mitsubishi only type thing.

I have the lifetime alignment at Firestone and wouldn't recommend it. I'm taking my car to a performance shop in the next week or so to have it properly aligned. The last alignment I had done at Firestone is a joke; the camber looks ridiculous. I've tried to get them to get it right six different times now and I'm over it. Take your car your car to a place that does performance alignments and call it a day.

I take it to Firestone with the lifetime, but I'm in the bay with them showing them how to align it. It's a pain, but I've been going to the same one for 10 years almost and they know me by now
