Answer from a Tech
on the X gsr.mr , the adjustment is as follows Rear TOE and CAMBER is adjustable from the factory adjustment points Front TOE and CAMBER is also adjustable from the factory adjustment points. But on the Front CAMBER you can either put it to a degree or two degrees camber, its either or.
I had Xs come in dropped on just springs of all kinds prokits teins tanabe swift and i was able to achieve great results with aligning the vehicle.
So those shops you went to completely lied to you just to let you know.
IM me if you need some pointers

South Coast Mitsubishi alignment today
I will update you with the status, first I brought the car in for an alignment due to recent swift spring installation. They said no problem we can adjust it to possible zero camber to fix for daily driving and not track driven performance, then two hours later service advisor called me and said he couldn't do the alignment because he needed alignment bolts? as a noob I said ok then I brought it back three days later and he said he got the washers in, I'm like first you said alignment bolt then you said alignment washers which is it. Then today he asked if he can hold the car over night so he'll take off the washers off of a robispec car to perform the alignement correctly. I'll post the results tomorrow at this point I'm lost with what he's going to do with my car, but I will get a clear definition tomorrow after he's done. Oh and trust me I will pay to get a second definition of what he did to my car, plus I'm just a little upset because when I brought the car in I did not have a front toe problem, when I got it back the first day the toe was off. I was pissed my steering wheel was freakin crooked, but I thought I give him a chance to fix it. I will repost tomorrow when I get the car back tomorrow. Thanks Evolutionm I got a clearer understanding of front toe and rear toe and what can be adjusted!

0 camber? WTF man, did you not read the sticky? 0 camber will SUCK! You want -1 all around at the bare minimum.
And in the rear, the camber and toe are adjusted with a bolt with a washer around it. They cost about $20-25 and they do wear out if you've been really rough on the car or have it aligned a lot (I've work out two of the four in a little over a year).

Sweet, thanks! Toss it up when you get a chance.
I think I'm going to make an appointment for tomorrow (Friday) around 5/5:30 at the Firestone on Broadway (near where I work). Then this weekend I'm going to take some pictures with the new wheels and a friend with an STi.

I didn't know how much negative camber the X has.Before I saw the results,I was thinking -1 is kinda high.I never got to align my car yet so I don't know how high and low camber is supposed to be.
