Trying to get an alignment
So I just installed a set of KW V3 on my car and couldnt be more happy with them. Now I am looking to get an alignment but this has proven difficult. Called Lex Brodies Pearl City and they said they wouldnt do it.
Brought the car to the Firestone where I previously got alignments and tires done. I brought in the alignment specs I was looking to get and they looked at me like I was crazy. First they said they couldnt do it, then they said they might be able to. On top of that they said it would cost me $30 extra per wheel because of aftermarket suspension. Then said that they would have to charge me the hourly flat rate for labor and it would take around 3 hours or more to do. Then said that the settings I wanted would cause hard pulling and they werent comfortable with them. They of course mentioned I wouldnt pass recon but I have given up on explaining to people that S2000s dont pass recon stock. So I left. Not trying to bash them as they have always been good to me, I just dont think they are used to people making specific requests.
Specs are pretty much a UK alignment with less rear toe. Im not asking for crazy camber and I see nothing else wrong with them but please tell me if something is off.
Caster 6
Front Camber -1.5
Front Toe 0
Rear Camber -2
Rear Toe .2
So are these specs that crazy? Can you guys recommend a place I can get an alignment done which can get me these specs? A corner balancing might also be nice. I dont mind paying extra or it taking a while but I just wasnt feeling really confident about the big name shops. Thanks.

I've heard great things about Scotty's. There is also Island Brake and Alignment in Aiea that will align to your specs. Lastly I know several people that have gone to Pflueger Honda with good results.
Your alignment settings look fine to me. Mine are similar.

Island Brake and Alignment did mines but the best they could get in my rear was -2.9 camber. I requested -2 front camber, max caster, and 0 toe all around. Depending on how low you are, they might not be able to get those camber settings. That tire place behind island also does alignments too. I think it's called Hawaiian Tire and Auto Center.

Goodyear in Kaneohe right across from the mall. They did my set up for 100$. -2 camber all around 1/8 inch toe rear +5 castor front. No questions asked altho this is out of specs for safety. Just told them it was for autocross
