are you looking for just an alignment? or are you wanting corner balancing and all that shabang? I took my car to Les Shwab to get my coilovers aligned and they did a pretty good job. Just make sure you have camber plates or camber bolts where needed or they're gonna charge you.

Simple alignment can be done anywhere. Corner weight/ballance will require a much more qualified shop that has a weight scale among other thigns. The price difference between the two is drastic

yea, i need the corner balancing and all the shabang lol... i know the price is gonna be in the 2xx range or something maybe less since I can only do it in the front. But yea I only need the fronts adjusted

I took my '04 STi to Les Shwab and they chipped up my brand new rims during alignment, said they were sorry and then denied my claim. I will never go back there again. I asked if there was an appeal process, they said "You can take us to court, good luck."

Thanks Les Shwab, awesome experience.

Doesn't look like you'll need that alignment so much now.

Oh, damn, I guess I'm gonna need one now. ugh I wish I could do my own.

Haha well I got one already, but sears did a good job and I have the 6month warranty so I can go right back in and get another alignment free! But it would be nice to know how to do (and have the equipment)
