Parts at Pacific Automotive
Just FYI,..
I just had my alignment done at Pacific on Tuesday and talked to Ken as I saw new parts around for sale.
Since the split from Vakamon, now R&D, there are stuff like Hawk Brake pads and a new Injen CAI or cold air intake I think for WRX fitment (should be same for STI?)...You can call if you need stuff like this locally and dont want to wait for shipping..
Tell Ken that Kevin mentioned it on I-Club so he knows at least I posted the info here and knows about it..

Don't buy those parts from Pac Auto. It's nothing against Ken at all or his shop. You'll be supporting someone that doesn't deserve the business. Just trust me...

i think i paid 120...just make sure your car is really aligned after. i was pretty sure mine wasnt but trusted his job since it comes so highly recommended by you all. a couple months later my tuner was road tuning my car & hes like wtf is up with your alignment didnt you just get it done. i said yeah, i was pretty sure it wasnt straight. i didnt hit anything or go in any major potholes...so yeah, just make sure your car is properly aligned.
i take my cars to island brake and alignment in pearl city 95$ I've been going to them for years and never had a issue plus they give you the print out when they are done...just dont try doing a walk in b/c they are always booked

I think around $120-ish or so? But worth it in my opinion as he does it to your specs, what he recommends, for street or race, corner balancing...etc..
My car had 0 or + camber,...that sucked,...he put in -1 degree and other adjustments and I didnt know what I've been missing...

I had a feeling that someone would post this as I know about the split,...but its nothing about siding with either R&D or Reid,..but about local parts if any I-club member needs them asap or without having to pay shipping etc (as in Hawk pads etc) and I noticed them in Ken's office..

jus for u guys ill give u guys som info..... the old owner of vakamon came in and took those parts from our shop with no permssion and took it there. so basicly it is stolen parts! it is not kens fault at all that he has it jus that the guy who took it is wrong by putting Ken in the middle of everything... all thoses parts belong to customers who payed for them allready... were in a big loss because now we have to pay back all those customers because the parts were "stolen" from us... thanks for understanding guys

I thought all those parts were not spoken for and new for sale...
I would definitely not buy them personally and that is a messed up situation...
