I think most dealers have an alignment machine. We have one at my work that you can do alignments for any make/model on.

I don' tknow about specs. I haven't got coilovers yet.

You realy can't do a front wheel alignment on the Evo. I replaced the springs, S-Techs, myself and noticed when I removed the brake assembly and then the strut there was no room for adjustment. Brake assembly bolts to the strut, strut to the car, that's about it. Camber adjustment would be helpful. But honestly I haven't done a thing since I dropped my Evo and it's perfect. No steering wheel shake at any speed, low or high, no tire wear, all is well. I will bring it in here in a few to get it check out to make sure.

Not sure how. I went to 3 other tire places and they don't even have settings for alignment, just camber.
