Default Alignment Recommendations Specs or a Place?

I have been doing a bit of reading on here and I do realize (like most other cars) an alignment is a crucial part of a car's behavior. Now, my question is, do any of you local guys know where I can get a good alignment and with someone willing to work with a car that is lowered. My AP2 has:

-Espelir ASDs (installed correcty lol.gif )
-Rota D2 18x8 front +48mm 18x9 rear +50mm
-Falken FK452 225/40/18 front 255/35/18 rear

And if anyone knows or has a similar setup and what specs for their alignment please tell me smile.gif ? Thanks, I would really appreciate any responses! As of right now I rub all around on a bad bump but not too much, the rear I am not too worried about, but the front I do because of my fenders. I know for sure I need an alignment, because the car goes all over the place on some roads as if it was following the grooves and so forth. I want to keep the drop and the wheels so going back to OEM is not an option for right now. I will admit I have lost some handling characteristics probably because of the tires. Thanks again to all that will help and I greatly appreciate it!

What I would not appreciate: People talking crap about my setup especially the wheels, thank you!

You would probably want to go with the UK spec or something your happy with.

Well I am looking for something that will give me a better feel of the car like the OEM 17s with the OEM tires, not exact but close, maybe I just need a serious alignment because it just feels very "loose" while driving. Thanks, and I will search for the UK specs.

It is very loose anyway.

UK spec:

Rear Camber L and R: -2
Rear Toe L and R: 20 degrees total of 40 degrees

Front Camber L and R: -1
Front Toe L and R: 0 degrees
Front Caster L and R: 6.45 degrees

My settings with 17x9 +45 in rear:
Rear Camber L and R: between -3 and -3.5
Rear Toe L and R: 20 degrees total of 40 degrees

Front Camber L and R: -1.5
Front Toe L and R: 0 degrees
Caster L and R: cannot remember, I think 7.xx

But do not have any idea for where you should get it done.
