West End Alignment, Darrin
It's $95 for alignment, +$150 to install my rear camber kit. Sounds like he knows his ish, but it's 3 hours and 30 mins away (I'm in Anaheim, CA)

Any other recommendations? Also, had anyone installed the SPC rear camber kit on our cars?

I'm sure its been mentioned - but West End is not 3.5 hrs from Anaheim... 30-45 min.

I take my car to Temple City Auto Repair. If you mention you're from Driver, he'll do it for $80. It usually takes about an hour maybe a bit more depends on what you want to do with it for him to get everything done.

+1 for Temple City - Henry is dedicated to customer service and takes care of forum members... depending on what you are doing, it might be cheaper than posted above.

Are you running SPC front A Arms? I just bought the SPC A Arms but im holding off on the install until i find an alignment shop that has experience with the SPC A Arms due to the inherent VDC+ABS light issue w/these arms.

my car is pretty slammed when I went there and they didn't say anything, just made sure it fits on the lift and mine just cleared.
