Cobb did Kracka's alignment.

I also got my alignment at Cobb. I run 0 toe front/rear and -1 camber front/rear. My tires are wearing evenly too.

*edit: I run Eibach Prokits for my springs.

The OEM bolt is cammed a specific amount. That's why the difference with the other bolt.

You should have the same OEM cam bolt on both sides which should make it even.

This is what I ran for a street alignment, setup by PTP The drive over there isn't bad at all, it only takes me about 45min from The Colony. PTP now does all tire/wheel/suspension work on all of my family and friends cars.

I am now running ~-3F/-2R with a dash of toe front and rear and still no problems with unusual tire wear. Like Kracka said tire wear as expected uniform.

Cobb Plano. 1 hour only.Alignment plus oil changed(Motul) Not bad compare to 2 hours of Firestone Nascar inspired alignment. No more left pulling. The bad thing is I'm used to that left pull already. It feels weird driving it now. Lol.

Cobb is huge now, it's like they add another 2 more shops inside.

Front L/R 1.8
Rear L/R1.5
Toe 0

Glad you got it fixed! I had NTB do my IX once and it was a nightmare; so far out from the spec I requested it was insane.

It's been since I had the Evo that I've been to Firestone (so Nov/10).

I took the M5 to PTP/TTW. I'd have taken it to Cobb too without hesitation.
