The short version would that Omni in Totem Lake (Kirkland) would probably best suit your needs.

BatBite (Rob) recommended me to this place.

Byron at Tru-Line did an awesome job on my S2k.

As Rob had vouched, the guy is very detailed about EVERYTHING. He even took my weight into account when setting the alignment.

You will pay more for his services but I think it's worth it. My car felt much more stable afterwards.

Tell him Kai or Rob sent you. He'll appreciate the word of mouth.

Any performance oriented alignment shop should be willing to do this. During the alignment I got last week, I just sat in the car. It was handy, because the tech and I were able to change parameters on the fly based on what he was seeing and what the limits of the adjustability were.

I have gone to Byron for years. First had him lower my Supra back in 1983. Yes - I'm old.

No doubt he is an excellent guy to work with. I'd wholeheartedly endorse him.

I'm not all that enthused about paying $140 for an alignment though.

My last alignment was done @ Europa by a fellow autocrosser. He knew exactly what I was after (and was way better than Speedware)

What about inspecting suspension damage and replacing components?

It wasn't an accident or anything and the car still drives pretty well. I did some damage to a rim and would like to have the suspension checked out. I'm not sure if I should pay for a seperate inspection or just have the alignment tech inspect things while performing the alignment.
