Any suspension shop that has the computerized AID can do it as long as your car clear the racks, and they know the alignment settings for rx7.

to know the alignment settings for the RX-7 you probably need the shop manual. where can i get ahold of one of those?

just make sure the car can make it up the rack as stated before, and also make sure they don't scratch the **** out of your wheels especially, if your wheels are powdercoated/painted....

The alignment machine has all the settings/specs. The tech just types in the model, year and the machine beeps when you've got alignment.

Most techs don't do it perfectly though.
