Default Alignment shop

Hey, i finally got my coilovers/wheels on and getting a corner balance job done tomorrow so i'm wondering where you guys go for alignments that are not oem specs (i'm looking do to something similar to the UK specs). I called a couple places and they quoted me close to $200, for that much i think it better come with corner balancing, but maybe the pricing is different in hawaii?
Also i'd prefer a place that lets you sit in the car while getting aligned. Thanks!

They did the U.K. spec on mine. Just give them the specs and they'll do it.

Im off to Pacific Automotive for the first time today. Ken (who i think is the owner) has a very nice demeanor over the phone and lots of people had positive results. He quoted me $105 for a 4 wheel alignment.

Front Camber is -1 degree 00"
Front Caster is 6 degrees 45"
Front Toe is 0 degree 00"
Front Total Toe is 0 degree 00"

Rear Camber is -2 degree 00"
Rear Toe is 0 degree 0"
Rear Total Toe In is 0 degree 40"

It's what people in the UK got for AP1s i believe. I think they went back to normal after 04+. I just need to run a little more camber so i dont rub. Kents right, it not much different. I went to the track before/after and it felt much easier to drive the second time around
