Alignment slightly off after UCA swap. More mods coming-- how/when to fix?

MRGTX said
As detailed elsewhere in this forum, I swapped in some QA1 upper control arms.
Per the instructions (and common sense) I marked the positions of the camber bolts and attempted to get them back in the same orientation when installing the new arms but they still ended up off a bit, noticeable in that I have to keep the steering wheel turned a bit to track straight. The car drives fine, stops straight and no noticeable wear has showed up yet, though I've only driven it a few miles so far.

In any case, I need to have the front end professionally realigned...but I'm also looking at a set of heavier torsion bars and fresh Bilstein shocks...as far as I know, I won't need to unbolt the UCAs again for those installs (am I wrong about that?) but these mods may be a couple months away. Should I bother with the alignment in the meantime?

Secondly, would any shop be able to set the alignment or should I look for a specialist? What alignment specs have you guys run? Any advice on settings that will clean up the handling?

Thanks for any advice and all patience with my perpetual novice questions!! :D

Your choice if you want to risk the tires or not until it's ALL done, because you will need another alignment every time you change a part.
NO parts are exactly the same unless it's the same part number from an OEM dealer, and maybe not even then.
Just an FYI the car can seem to drive fine but the tires can be fighting each other.
Next time you take it out run one tire off the edge into a little gravel or dirt on the road at about 10mph and see how it acts.
Betcha the car jumps sideways a little when the one tire goes off into gravel or dirt.:D

Use these specs, and don't let them do it any other way.
