Dealer Alignment

I wanted to get some advice and any insight. I recently got some Tein H-Tech springs installed on my 2005 G35 Sedan. I went to the dealer today to get an alignment done. I went to the dealer as I had other service that needed to get done anyway. Well, I go to pick up the car, and the service writer says that they got all the wheels aligned within factory spec except one. But he said this wouldn't affect tire wear or cause pulling so I shouldn't worry about it. If it's not within factory spec, wouldn't that cause uneven tire wear or cause the car to pull? Also, when I was driving home, I noticed the wheel had to be turned to the right a little to keep the car straight. I don't know much about alignment, but I know this can't be the proper alignment. Has anyone had problems with Tein H-Tech springs and getting the alignment back to factory spec? Thanks.

wat is your AFTER measurement?

if your steering wheel is slightly cocked to the left to compensate for
the crown of the road (given that it's a US road driving on the right side)
you're fine...but if to the right, your alignment is sub-par.

Why don't you go to Firestone to have your alignement done? Don't they do a good job? They offer a lifetime alignment where you can go in to any Firestone shop to have your alignment done every 6,000 miles. This might be a good thing due to not being able to rotate the tires on the coupe. Also, hoow do you know if Firestone or Big O' Tires has the correct settings for your alignment? Would they use the alignment specs off a Q45 or G20? Maybe I'm being paranoid?
