Hi Guys, I mostly post over on 3GWRX, but there aren't too many NorCal guys there.

I'm changing springs and shocks in a couple weeks and want to know if there is a shop in Santa Cruz that is good with Subaru alignments so I can have it checked after I change out the parts. The dealer has been good to me so far, but if there was an independent or alignment shop that's better, let me know. It's a pain to drive over to San Jose - and I don't want to drive that far with questionable alignment.

Car in question: 2008 WRX hatch. Getting Koni's, King springs (custom: stock ride height, increased spring rate) and STI strut mounts.

Thanks!

Santa cruz subaru actually sends the cars out to someone to get alignments done iirc, not sure the name of the shop though...

Installing a set of springs/struts shouldn't mess up your alignment too bad for you not to be able to drive over 17, although I understand what you mean

I personally will go to AI in milpitas when I need my next alignment

Thanks slugrx. I was planning to mark everything, so I agree it should be okay. It's just getting a weekday free to get over there.

Not surprised that SCS farms the work out...

Do you mean Auto Innovations? If so, they have a ton of good reviews on Yelp. edit: just looked at Auto Innovations' website - they are open on Saturdays! Looks like they're not afraid of modded cars either. Thanks for the recommendation!

Just had alignment done at AI over the weekend, they are great. I know they use to have a deal if you had springs installed and alignment done at the same time. Don't know if they still do though.
