Did you install SPC's yourself?
What are the best specs the shops could align you?

I had the SPC installed at car lab and they don't do alignment there~~~

I don't know how much they can align, but I think probably back to spec

I would say if u gonna get an alignment at a shop, make sure they offer like a 3 or 5-yr plan, I'm not sure what shops they have available on the west coast, but Merchant's Tire Shop offers it for the East coast, so you might wanna look into it

go to auto innovations. orlando worked very closely with spc esp with the front arms. he knows all the ins and outs of getting it back to oem specs...and he also knows how to install the spacers without triggering any of the warning lights. at the very least, give him a call.

I have lifetime alignment at firestone and go to the firestone in sunnyvale all the time. A guy with a fixed up suby aligns cars there so you can specify what settings you want for the track or you could just have him align it to OEM specs.

naw innovations did a very wack *** job on my car when i had the spc camber and toe. they didn;t even tighten down my toe and it was loose within a week. And they scratched up my rims when i brought it in for some new tires...honestly...innovations is going to charge u 100 bucks but sadly i would say dealer for 130. I know its the dealer but yea at the end they at least did it correctly...
