I took my car to Westminster Auto recently, they have a laser alignment rack. They gave me the before and afters, and they can get the car within spec, but I don't know how well they'll do custom stuff. I do all my own camber, and all I needed them to do was put the toe in spec.

The 4 wheel alignment was $50.

You're best bet will be a suby dealer.

Do a little research into toe and camber settings then find a dealer who is willing to set it to your specs.

what do you intend to do with the car
auto-X, drag, drift, rallly
if street i'd go with as little camber as possable those wide tires would wear quick with too much camber
talk to Tom at the dealership he knows whats what

Her's might not have the equipment in house like Exeter used to send the cars down the street like 1/2mi. My vote is for Exeter. You know the car will be taken care of. Hey Randy are you guys still running that 4 wheel special over there? I really should do the SVX now that I have my coilovers or take the car to Synaptic3(Option #2 in my opinion if you want it full out set) for a full corner balance. GL and post more pics!

Synaptic3 like I said. It'll cost more but it will be EVERYTHING set to optimal settings.

My front end is about 3" off the ground and it went on the ramps at westminster auto no problem.

And of course she did. At least we got to see the results for ourselves today. I personally would have rolled a little more than they did and smoothed the bent part of the lip on the inside a bit more but I'm a MASSIVE stickler for those things. I'll still likely bring the Impreza to them for my wiring and headers and tune once I get my parts.
