Nope had to rush down to SJ to get my grandpa admitted into the hospital 
Everything seems to be okay with him now, I will be calling a few places tomorrow to see if I can get them to do the rear and do the aligment. My friend is out of town for 2 weeks on vacation so no free aligment from hiim for at least 2 more weeks

So car is now aligned and finished, my friend is doing me a favor and vise versa so my header and up pipe will be going on tomorrow night if all goes well. In return my friend gets to use my stock header and up pipe while his car gets put back to stock to take care of some things

From the Subaru Technical Information Service website regarding the strut assemblies on a 2004 STi:
Thought you might like the torque specs from Subaru. BTW, if you've ever changed a tire using the tools in your kit, you'll notice that the breaker bar is a 19mm (conveniently), so in case you can't find another breaker bar somewhere else...
