This was taken from www.machevo.com. Compare it to this and see where you stand.

According to the Mitsubishi service manual, your Evo should be aligned as follows:

Rear Camber: -1 degree +/- 30'

Rear Toe: 3mm +/- 2mm (0.12" +/- 0.07")

Front Camber: -1 degree +/- 30' or -2 degree +/- 30'
(Two settings available!)
Front camber should be less than 30' difference between the two front wheels.

Front Toe: 0mm +/- 2mm (0.00" +/- 0.08")

your rear toe and camber is off by a bit.
I would run more negative camber in the front than the rear.
It should be more like -1 or -2 in the front and -1 in the back.

The rear adjustment is made by an eccentric at the lower control arm in the rear. Good alignment machines will even show the person doing the job where the adjustments need to be made and even which way they need to turn the bolt or nut to get the required adjustment.

Yes the rear can be adjusted.....But when they adjust the rear toe the rear camber will also change.

The front is not very aggressive at all.....should drive around town OK, but for more spirited driving they should have more negative camber up there.

evo girlie:
your alignment specs looks good but if the car is strictly daily driven I would recommend you run -1 camber up in the front and rear.
Toe setting are ok.

you're welcome.

BTW, you can keep the setting like you have if you like the way the car drives now but you're going to have to rotate your tires more often.
