Auto Innovations is probably still my favorite shop for any type of suspension work. If I still lived in SJ, I wouldn't go anywhere else.
I'd recommend Mach III as well. I think a worker there drives a WRX too since I've seen it out front a few times.

Nope, they're still around. I usually watch movies at the mall while work gets done on my car there.

+1 on Mach III, but I never paid them that much...

That'll definitely be cheaper.

Got it all done

for those that need it done and are on a limited schedule like me. Autotronics in San Mateo. They close at 7PM on weekends. Really friendly family oriented staff.

$18 per tire/balance $2.50 for recycle, all that with the wheels still on my car. Best thing, they gave my car and unexpected free visual inspection. Really nice and very knowledgeable. Thanks Erick!

Though if given the chance I would have loved to make it out to Vex Motorsports. Would have saved $15-20 and would have helped support a local forum member.

I just had my Advans mounted at the Goodyear on Steven's Creek. I went in looking to spend $80 for mount/balance (had my wheels off the car) with a $20 coupon, but ended up spending $60 for everything. The guys there noticed my i-club decal, and since one member works there, he hooked it up for me! My Advans came out without a scratch, cant complain here
