In the neighborhood of $130. It depends on how nuts you wanna go.
Give a call 408-295-0930 and talk to Timmy , he is out service manager. Tell him Brett told you to call

I'll add another recommendation for Auto Innovations. However, if you want to spend a little more and do it right and specific to your driving habits, you can go to custom alignment in Mountain View. Here's the link Custom Alignment
I heard they're expensive, but worth it and like they say, you get what you pay for. Good luck.

There is a guy know that sounds like he knows alot about setting up subarus even though they are a audi/porsche centric shop.
He did a good job on my car. Had no problem with my aggressive -2.6 front and -1.2 rear camber setup. He also fixed my front suspension geometry that some other place messed up. :/

thanks for all the feedback.. in speaking with chris at works (evo shop in san fran) ive come to the decision to give them a shot.. the only hing they dont do is corner weighted balancing...and they are a little pricey.. 95 an hour....

there ya go, works should be able to help you out.
IMHO, an alignment should not cost more than $100 unless they are actually fiddling with things like ride height, etc.
A normal 4 wheel alignment where they just move your camber plates back and forth and set the toe should never cost more than $100.
awhile ago I had Roger Kraus racing in Castro Valley check my ride heights, check for suspension travel, adjust my ride heights, corner balance and align the car for approx $140. They had the car the whole day and took it for numerous test drives to test settings out.
