ANYONE can do it with the proper rack and knowledge....but the average guys at NTB / Sears / ETC aren't trained in performance stuff. If you need additional parts to help with the alignment they wouldn't be able to help you acquire / suggest car specific parts FOR THE MOST PART. Also most aren't trained in performance alignment parts. I have ran across some good alignment people here and there at the chain places. All depends.
But how is a performance alignment different from normal? It's just farther/steeper/more right? I'm pretty sure the guy at Sears can figure out he needs to move the tophat further to get more camber. He may not be know that you need to move some bolts top different holes to get the bigger numbers(seen this before) but if you explain it to them they should be fine. As far as suggesting parts to get, I doubt even a performance shop will be aware if every option we have available as many companies develop exclusively for twins or Subarus. That's what the internet is for anyways right? To figure out what parts you need and watch porn
