Interesting question, except that I *sincerely* doubt that even the
almighty Spec-V was able to shed the granny alignment that all other
B15s have.  Why do you want a stock alignment, anyway?  All it does is
chew up tires and make the back end kick out at the weirdest times.

Ideal alignment specs for the front are simple:

 Toe: 0"
 Camber: -1.5* ideally, but as much as you can get.

If the shop knows how to slot the struts to get more negative camber up
front, it's probably a good investment.  1.5* is more than the stock
adjustments/slack allow for, and it's kind of aggressive, but you'll
love the way it feels.  Hell, anything feels better than stock alignment
with Firehawks; consider yourself blessed.  If you keep your toe at
factory specs, and drive even marginally hard, your outside shoulders
will be gone on the front tires in a matter of a couple of months.

For the rear axle, there's no adjustability, unless you want to take it
to Darrin at Westend Alignment in Gardena, CA.  I'm half-serious about
doing that, despite the fact that it's a couple-thousand mile drive. :)
