+1 on Island Brake. I took my Lancer there to fix the jacked up stock alignment and sure enough, it was out of spec.
I just was there a couple weeks ago getting my toyota aligned for recon. They nailed it dead on.
It is next to best buy aiea so you can screw around over there while they work on your car. Pearlridge isn't too far either. Plus you can go to Cutter Mitsu and check out the Ralliarts.
Edit: oops, forgot this was a suby forum, hehe.

i've also been going to Island Brake and Alignment in Aiea for the past couple of years and they are very friendly, efficient and professional. their price is also very reasonable ($95 plus tax), and very careful with your aftermarket rims.

+1 Island Brake and Alignment
I'll be taking my STi in soon for a new alignment due to a change in my suspension setup...
The last time, I just dropped off the car...I walked across the street for some Pho...came back and my car was good to go. They give you a spec sheet with your settings...
I had my fronts set at -1 and my rears at -1.5 with zero toe...with only a -.5 change in both my front and rear, my Sti handled much better than the stock settings with very little additional camber wear...I'll probably go with these setting again after I install my camber plates up front.

Brent is that the place you sent me to the time that I asked around? I swear you were the one that recommended the place I went to.
If that's the one near Ala Moana, Ward, etc....that's a good *** place.

Hey Blake,
That place was called Lindsey's and was located right next to McKinley Car Wash off of Kapiolani blvd...they were inexpensive and good, but it was hard to get to with all the car wash traffic...I'm not sure if they are still there or not...I think Pacific Auto and Island Brake are more tuner spec friendly also...they will dial in what you want...Lindsey's pretty much liked to stay within factory spec...
After that, I used to take my car to Pacific Auto when they were near Queen street...but they moved, so now I take my car to Island Brake and Alignment...
