STi alignment - Has anyone had it check/adjusted?

Now that the STis are on the street I was curious if anyone has had the alignment checked and adjusted? I've had mine out for AutoX twice and while I'm very happy with the handling I am curious as to how much difference a camber adjustment in the front would make?
I just sold my WRX wagon (with STi suspension) and I had front camber set to -1 and it handled nicely.

Any comments?

Ya, it would probably help a little.

BTW, how competitive were you? What place did you pax at and run overall?

I placed 1st in A Stock, but there was only one other driver (Cobra) in the class and they were a novice. There were 72 drivers and my OA standing was 43 and PAX was 38. I've been doing AutoX for barely a year and this was only the second time out with the STi (before that I had a WRX Wagon with STi suspension).

mehlt,

How did the STi suspension work for you in AutoX? I'm thinking of getting it for my 02 WRX Sedan.
Thanks.

I was very happy with the STi suspension on my Wagon, but I had more then just shock/struts, rear sway bar. I also had STi strut tops, lateral links, trailing links and front control arm bushings. I'm sure there is something better for AutoX, but I wanted a good balance between handling and ride quality.
