congrats!!!!!!!!! Matt and Josey...(yes I am late getting the news...I have been working way too much this past week). Sunday I got to drive the Legacy GT Limited through cones and sand and it was FUN!!!!!!!!!! I also drove a BMW 325i and the Volvo V60( i think thats what it was). Anyhow it was with car and driver for a comparison between the three cars on three differ courses(wagons and sedans).The Subaru kicked *** on all three tests! I love that car( me want). After the test was done they had one of the rally cars in a tent to go look at and touch (ahhhhhh) and that was cool to see! LOTS of fun! All the ride along people they had out there to give you direction as needed in the cars through the course were all prof. race car drivers! I was in heven for a day!

hey doods, who should I see about an alignment? I'm liking firestones lifetime re-alignment ****, but I'm not liking the firestone part. Are there any other places that do a lifetime thing? Or someplace that'd do a good job on an alignment for a decent price?

Thawa: I got my alignment done at Big-O. It was like $59.xx and they warranty it for 6 months or 6,000 miles (I'm not too sure on the mileage but there is a mileage stipulation). They did a fine job. I just got the alignment checked at a tire place by my house and they said it's still in spec - and this is after having my STi pinks installed and driving countless thousands of miles.

Man, I was ignoring this thread for a few days and I missed a lot!
Congrats Matt and Josey!
Sorry to hear about the pets Kevin... how come you never mentioned it IRL?
Thawa... you can do alignments at home, all you need are some tools that will cost the same as a single alignment: http://www.seccs.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=821 It's a little more complicated if you don't have adjustable top mounts, since you'll have to use the camber bolts, but it is do-able.

RC Country.
To get there from the shop, get on 50 W towards downtown. Get off on 59th St. and take a right, then a left onto Folsom (over the railroad tracks). It'll be like 2 blocks down on your right, and watch the driveway, it'll try to kill your lowered car

hmm, clarkes sounds good.
sonicsuby, what does big-o's warranty mean, like I if I changed something and needed an alignment again would they realign it for free or charge me? Or is it just like, if they ****ed it up and it took you a while to notice, bring it back and they'll redo it?
sperry, Cool idea. What all would be needed? level ground, a level, tape measure, a jack, notepad and pen, and of course tools. What else though?
