+1 to AI. Yup. Tell them I-club sent you or something. See if they'll start doing discounts for us. If you plan to go to them, you'll need to call them a week in advance.

Went to AI last weekend or the weekend before that...they were really quick and did the job right. I asked for most negative camber they can get out in the front and got me -1, which is i thik about right for the 2005 STi's. And it was only 60 bucks, but if you have suspension mods it might be more. Give em a call, http://www.autoinnovations.com/

Only go to Roger Krause if you want it done right and right the first time though

Yeah, it was weird but I looked it up and a lot of people with wrx's got like -1.3 to -1.5, but most guys with 05 STi's get -1.

crazy. Good info.



I had good results with AI.

They're good if you know exactly what you want but I'd gather info and decide for yourself. The first time I went in I asked thier opinion and the set up I ended up with was no good.

Next time I'll probably go to Krause or GST if Mike ends up getting a rack.

Yeah I would definitely get what you want before you go there, like search on the boards. If you don't care about performance, stock spec should be fine, but if you do even a little spirited driving on twisties, you want more negative camber for even tire wear. Before my alignment my tires were so unevenly wearing on the outer edges.
