provide a Lifetime Limited Warranty* on the alignment, which means we’ll set alignment angles on your vehicle every 5,000 miles or whenever needed, free of charge, for as long as you own it
although i read an issue from another forum
"That's the problem I had with Firestone's "lifetime" alignment. I got one on my wife's 4Runner. When I brought it in for the third alignment (after about 10k or so) they said that the front end was loose (?) and refused to honor the warranty. The front end was fine ... the thing only had about 25k on it. They just wanted to keep my money. I got two alignments total out of the deal ... broke even."

this may sound like a stupid question.. but once springs are installed, and alignment is made.. will the tires look straight, especially the rear onese.. or are they gonna be tilted, top part in....i dont know if i am explaining this right.. but would it.. ?

on my last car (audi a4) it was so low and there tilted so much i had to get a camber kit for more adjustability to fix them...
lesson learned... i'll never go that low again lol.... traded the car in with all the axles trashed... they didnt know =-p

i just always make it clear NO TEST DRIVE's afterward if it's not going to the dealer. all the mitsu techs have driven evos already so they aren't as quick to beat your car on the "test drive" to make sure the alignment is good. the machine printout is good enough for me.
Lol, we charge $50.95 for an AWD alignment.. Good luck!

The Firestone that I go to is great, I got my 3rd alignment this year w/ no ?'s asked. I asked them to set toe at 0 and they showed me the read out on the computer and printed it out for me.
however after driving today w/ the toe at 0 I would not recomend it to anyone, the car just doesn't feel the same. I'm going back to Firestone Monday to have them put it back to factory spec. (Free w/ lifetime alignment)

What about alignments for people that goes to the track or road course??
I know companies like Robispec and others have their own ways and technques to align our cars in a dif way but I wonder how different they go from the factory specs....
