Um . . . well . . . not really.
I prefer to go to an actual mechanic who will do it correctly and then give me a prinout of the before/after specs.
My dealership has proved to me years ago that they are nearly incompetent. Like when they had my car for a week and got me a rental car because they just couldn't get a damn alignment done right so they replaced half the machine . . . and the car still didn't drive straight.
But you are free to pay whomever you choose.
right?

I've never been to my Mitsu service shop. Hopefully, they won't disappoint me at the first service interval.

Depends. Some coilovers come with camber plates. If you get those, you don't need the camber bolts. But if you get a kit that just has standard tophats, you definitely want camber bolts.
As for modifying the bolts everytime you change ride height . . . sorta. Every time you change the ride height of the car, you will be altering the alignment. At the same time, unless you have an alignment rack at your house, you wouldn't know HOW to modify the bolts. The basic answer is this - if you want to be safe and smart, get an alignment everytime you change the ride height.

Yeah, those Megan Coilovers do come with Camber Plates. Those are the extra bolts on the top of the Strut mount. Should be relatively easy to do a good alignment on your car after installation with those.
Save you the hassle of having to put in Camber bolts.

So don't know if its only the Canadian mitsu that does this warranty coverage or not, have a look in your warranty book and let me know, curious.
