Recent alignment

Don't go to a regular alignment shop, go somewhere that specializes in performance alignments. If you want a really good place, look up can-alignment. It'll be about $150, but Scott knows his stuff and has setup many many race cars.

You should also go with about 1/2 a tank of gas (unless it's a race car and you know how much fuel weight you'll ideally have for competition), and be sitting in the drivers seat during the alignment.

That said, camber isn't adjustable at all without buying aftermarket hardware, so all they can adjust is toe.

Wow thank you! I'm thinking about buying a camber kit and spc bolts but from what I've read, I'm Guna need to adjust everything when I put my car on coilovers so I should just wait. Thanks for the shop name

I would suggest you wait until you get the coilovers that you want. When you have all of the parts installed, as advised above, go to a "performance" alignment shop that will dial in the settings that you want and not just settle for "it's in the green, it's good enough."

• Some coilover systems have adjustable top mounts (aka camber plates) that you can adjust, without needing to use camber bolts.
  • 
• Other coilover systems may have a slotted bolt hole for camber adjustments.
  • 
• If you opt to go with a coilover that has neither of the above, you can purchase the SPC camber bolts to use in the lower bolt hole. You can move the lower bolt to the upper bolt hole (lower bolt is smaller). With this setup you should be able to achieve -2 without much issue.

For the rear, unless you are planning to lower your car extremely low, you are probably fine with the factory rear control arms. The less 'adjustable' parts you have, the less likely something can break If you end up getting a rear lower control arm anyway, please search on the forums about different brands and their pros and cons (SPL, Velox, RSR, SPC).

Happy tuning
