Custom alignment

Has anyone had a racing alignment don e on the stock STi suspension? I'm thinking of getting it done to remove the factory understeer, but I'm thinking not much can be done with the factory suspension.

I had one done on my integra, but it had camber kits and coil overs. It makes all the difference in the world for handling.

I won't be modding the suspension for at least a year. Anyone who had the adjustment think it was worth it on stock susp?

thanks in advance,

Back when I had stock WRX springs/struts, I had Custom tweak the alignment for me. Made a BIG difference in how the car handled!

Custom isn't cheap, but they do know their stuff!

Thanks!

I'm just wondering if it's worth it to do so on stock suspension. If they would be able to adjust it enough to be worthwhile.

$180 for a 4 wheel alignment is pretty wicked. It'd totally be worth it if I had more adjustability. I'd hate to pay $180 and have them say..."well there wasn't much we could do, but it's slightly better"

I'll probably still go through with it...handling > power

make sure you get at least a rear camber bolts so they can adjust the rear camber. also to induce more oversteer, try thicker rear sway bars
