The specs are in the back of the manual. I would also suggest if your alignment person is not familiar with FFR, they at least have some experience with the tubular A-arms or race cars. My local guy(recommend by a local speed-shop) did it perfect the first time. A friend however bought a MK 3 already built, but it needed an alignment. He went to three shops near his home that were unable to do it. He brought it to my guy, now he's happy.

check ride height and (if possible) corner weights before alignment.
Don't forget about the rear. You'll want them to check thrust angles, too.
