yeah...true. Crappy thing is I don't like the specs we went with so eventually I have to redo it. Go more aggressive.

But I have rear camber bolts. front cast/camber plates..etc. So that's probably why it was more.

I'm going there on Wednesday for an alignment on the M5. They were the only shop I let set up my alignment on the Suby too.

Even I live 45 miles away, I still take both of my Subarus to AI for alignment. Tried local dealer, wheel works, doesn't even come close in my experience.

I like my tires to last

Orlando reccomended this setting to elimate some of the understeer, but not get too much inner tire wear

factory setting is -0.3 in the front, with -1.0 being a good agressive setting to help with the understeer

I just made an apt for mounting 4 tires and an alignment on my celica...$152 quoted total. Might be more depending if camber can be adjusted =)
