Alignment

Does anyone know of a good shop to get alignment done for a reasonable price? Les Schwab will do it, but I fear they will screw something up.

I got mine done from a buddy at wheel works

They use 4 wheel hunter laser machines, I got mine dialed in to -0.7 all the way around and factory toe specs

Is that on an evo or sti? -0.7 sounds very modest for either.

not to tread-jack, but iI'm getting aligned tomorrow. Whats a good alignment set-up rather than the usual one-size fits all alignment most places do? I want something that'll handle pretty well but not eat my tires like a cop in a donut shop

um, I'd get an alignment pretty soon. Maybe give them a few days to settle but if you put the struts/springs on by yourself I'm guessing your alignment is going to be pretty fubar'd
