alignment done

hey guys i just got my alignment done with new tires today. it took them like 3 hours for the job. anyways i just installed a camber kit b4 the alignment and was wondering will all alignment shops adjust the kit for you? because once the alignment was done it still look like visually it had a rear camber. I couldnt tell because i requested a print out but they said their printer didnt work. it was sears too! should i go back or what should i do? i really want my tires striaght. im riding on neuspeed race with spc camber kit. thanks

The specs are

0 +/- .75 on the front

.75 +/- .75 on the rear

As long as they're not MAJORLY leaning in, you should be fine - I had the aligment shop set my camber to -.4 on the front, and -.8 on the rear. My rear tires still show visual camber, but are within specs

They should do it for you, make sure they realize there is a kit installed

most shops like sears will not comprehend a kit...unless they have the "ricer" working there who will most likely break something....
took my wifes car to tires plus and the jackass reclined a non reclinabel chair under the car...(read he left the chair under the car as he lowered it back down..and crushed it....)

i only take my car 4 places:
1. Toyota dealership i got it at, as I know two guys who work there and they are really careful.
2. Honda dealership by me.
3. Wal*Mart ONLY when I am too lazy to do an oil change, since they can't screw that up too bad and I watch.
4. My garage, where I park every night.


NO way I would go to a sears or anything like that for an alignment. Ill pay the $10 more to get it done at a dealership.
