So, the Firestone in Redwood City will align to the specs I give them? I've had a place turn me away because my car is lowered.

Where's the best one at? That's sounds perfect for me as there's a good chance I'll have to redo the rear struts and I might run different springs in the spring.
*cough cough*

I've been saying it for the past 2 years...

srry but i paid 100 dollars and they didnt even touch my camper plates... only adjusted the bolts so i seriously think 100 dollars is over price for something they charge 60 dollars for on a regular suspension setup

Performance Options in Oakland. Just had my alignment done today on the WRX. I have coilovers w/ front camber plates and rear camber bolts. Charged me $75 for a 4 wheel alignment.

Lowered cars aren't a problem for them either.

My question is this... I always here about people getting $60 alignments there but as far as I know that hasn't happened in days.

I just called and they quoted me $100 because I have rear camber bolts. Last time I went in they charged me like $120 because I used to have camber plates. They offered to install my camber bolts but said it'd be $45 which I thought was ridiculous because they already had the wheel off and bolt loosened.

And on top of that I've heard from a few people that the suby specialist there left and that service has gone way down. Including a couple stories about them disrespecting (read not taking care of) people's parts. Putting lug nuts on chrome wheel lips and what not.

Basically I need my car aligned and I plan to take it to AI unless someone can give me another name in the bay that does subarus and isn't some douche kid that's gonna screw up my car.

I want to run close to -2 up front and something like -.5 in the back.


I need some tires mounted while I'm in town.

AI quoted me $90 if I take care of disposal which is fine but anyone point me to someone else in the area that will do it on used tires.
So what you're saying is that Roger Kraus sucks, now?
