take it back and have them align it properly. If you paid them to do a job and it's not done right... they should correct it for free.

I put the springs on three and a half years ago, so i'm pretty sure they've setteled

I did go back and had them realign it. Here are the specs they could get it to. Do these numbers sound reasonable?


Front
Left Camber -0.7
Right Camber -0.6
Left Toe -0.21
Right Toe -0.22

Rear
Left Camber -1.0
Right Camber -1.0
Left Toe 0.30
Right Toe 0.25

They couldn't get the toe to get any closer to zero. It handles really good, but the steering wheel is still a little bit off center. I just hope the tread on the tires lasts for a good while.

That toe is god aweful, your tires don't stand a chance with those specs.
They should be able to fix the rear toe.
The front toe is probably unfixable because you're hyperextending the tie rods as it is, and the ends have no more travel on the threads.
Either raise the car up, try RSX tie rod ends, or try the tie rod inversion (I don't like it, but you drill the taper out of the hole in the steering arm and put the tie rod in upside down).
