STi ver. 8 struts/springs/hats installed -- where to get an alignment?

well, the subject pretty much says it all. it's 2am and i just finished putting the suspension components in, and i need and alignment. for most of my service needs i hit Carlsen Subaru, but if there is someplace close to Campbell that can take care of an alignment that'd be great.

also, anyone have some good alignment specs that aren't too brutal on tires while utilizing the stock hardware? for referance i'm currently set up with the STi ver. 8 struts, springs, top hats, cusco 22mm RSB, 20mm FSB, and Perrrin end links.

thanks all.

Call, and let them know you are coming in. I've just walked in 3 times, but its better to call ahead and make an appt.

If you have camber bolts, or adj top mounts, then it's anywhere from 80-100, no waranty.

But that looks like you got all FHI stuff, so $60 straight up, 1 yr waranty on the work, and, you should get some Neg camber dialed in for the front.

My settings are Camber: -1F and -1R (can't adj rear), and Zero Toe all around.

1 degree of camber won't eat your tires up, but it sure as hell makes a difference at turn in.

go for 1.3-1.5 neg front camber if you really want to eat up the turns!
