I always zero out my camber plates when getting mine done.
I have them set to my specs the hard parts. I then adjust the plates as needed for street or track..

I just got off the phone with the firestone in santa cruz and the one in watsonville. NEITHER DO CUSTOM ALIGNMENTS. I asked and they told me that Firestone as a company has a policy to stick to factory specs only so they are not held responsible for damaging suspension components.
WTF.
I was really looking forward to lifetime alignments for $130.

Just go into the store. Tell them you have a subaru with extra adjustment. Give the tech the specs. And get a lifetime alignment.
If they still do not want to.. I'll make some calls.

Somehow I missed this!
Yes, Firestone does do lifetime alignments, but kicker is they only do factory specs. Great for you rally cross dudes.
The only way to get custom specs at Firestone is know someone who works at one and have to go to that one every time.
Personally I use AI.
I have gotten $60 alignment from them, but not a subie, on the wifes car.
