Car alignment

Hey everyone I lowered my fit on Eibach pro's and now am looking to get an alignment I just had my tire's changed and man they were worn I'm guessing my toe is off I live in Temecula so I was wondering if someone could suggest to me a good place to take it also I called the local honda dealer looking to get the camber bolts and they dont have any and they are on backorder should I wait to get the bolts then take it or try to maybe order them online then take it ? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

you don't need to get camber bolts to get your alignment within specs. with those springs, your camber should be ok and they can adjust the toe and you'll be all good.

you can try going to firestone and get their lifetime alignment deal. but you should be wary at the same time because i've gotten a bad alignment from Firestone in the past. if you get and alignment from them and you feel like the alignment is still off, take it back (or to another firestone location) to have them check the alignment.

Well I took it to firestone today and got the liftime alignment I was very happy with the results its like a night and day difference in my car also they let me in the bay area to look at my readings because it was lowered and my rear left tow is some what bad I kind of knew that going in that it might be a problem and that there is no adjustment for it i may look at getting a shim for it. I have lowered cars and installed front camber kits but never shims so Im going to have to do some research on how difficult it is. They said just bring it back after I shim it and they will look at it to see if it was an improvement beyond that every thing else came into spec
