    Have you added anything to make it adjustable?

          Technically it should be weighted for any alignment, we always did at the dealership I worked at.

            Try Sunshine in Sparks/Reno. I think his name is Mike. He did a weighted sag for my front (camber/toe/caster) and rear (camber/toe). Worth the trip up the hill. He does alot of track cars. He put 200lbs in the drivers seat and then did the alignment. Make an appointment, he is always busy. Take the $2 taxi to Fantasy Girls for lunch while he is doing the work. That's what I always did!

              I said that and they said no.

              I think Im just going to mess with them my self to get them as straight as possable for now till I get new tires. Unless some one knows a place close bye.

                Another choice might be to get one of the lifetime alignments. I don't know how frequent you can have an alignment done but set it close have it aligned and reset it as needed and have rechecked.

                    I think Firestone has them for 70ish, I will have to look into this again and see as I need some tires and time for an alignment again and this is what I will go with this time.

                      Interesting... I had my e30 aligned w/o any problems with camber plates, but I didn't have rear kit. Try one of the performance shops, places that race prep corvettes and mustangs. They should know what to do..

                          IDK why I told them to just set it the way it is and I got a big "NO".

                              got a front lifetime alignment fom discount tires. They did my rear for $50 but could not sell me a lifetime since its not a factory provision with predefined specs.
