Lots of people use Island Brake and Alignment in Aiea. They can set your specs to what you want and typically a 4 wheel aligment is around $100. The problem u may run into is at your ride height, your camber will probably be out of spec. Out of spec = no pass recon. If u're set on getting recon, lift your car up to a decent ride height get your alignment, then get your recon. Then, slam the car again and get another alignment. Or just ride dirty with no recon. Stupid yah? Welcome to Hawaii bro

if you get alignment at Island Brake and Alignment, they actually put your alignment back to specs so you can pass RECON. if you go in there tell them you need alignment for recon and they should hook you up...IIRC

also, set your recon date first. then schedule your alignment. sometimes it may take a couple weeks before you can get a recon appt., and the alignment should be within a month IIRC too. but def island brake or scotty's.

Manny,

If you left the coils at the ride height I gave them to you at, you will want to raise the rear maybe 1/4-1/2 inch - the alignment when I went at that ride height was just a hair out of spec on the camber. You can either raise it, buy bushings, or control arms to adjust the camber into spec and keep the same height.

I had to go up a bit in the back and they did it all themselves. Ride still looks and feels the same. Only difference is that my exhaust doesn't scrape on speed bumps now. I went to island brake and it was pretty good but I heard that Scotty's just does the alignment and doesn't take the car for a drive to test it.
