Im going through this right now, if king pins are good which mine are not. The i beam has to be bent, you have to find a shop that will do it. Not to hard here in San Diego, i found a couple places.

Springs will adjust the camber - or + . Positive camber , springs to tall , Negative camber , springs to short . If to short I used big washers under the bottom spring cup and no more camber issues , plus can add or subtract washers to desired camber , cost 5 bucks and my labor . Good luck .

I have inside wear on the drivers side tire, passenger side is fine. I have new coil springs to go on in a couple weeks. So is there a way to tell if everthing is straight or do I adjust drive and go from there.

I would put the new coils in and then get it aligned.

If possible I would rather do it myself. Had bad experience with mechanic shops, if not to expense I would buy a tool to do myself than bring it to a shop. If not possible I would have to go to a shop.

Once had a fiero worked on at sears in tampa Fl. The shop had a window in the waiting room where you could see the shop work area. The mechanic lifted the car up and was looking for the engine in the front of the car. I point to the back and he was shocked to find the engine in the rear. Had other bad experiences so I would rather do it myself if I can.
