Yeah Firestone does. I think any of them do. Douglas James Smith (not sure why he has three names) is at the one in Alcoa.

Cool. Looking for someone that'll let me be back there and mark toe settings.

Use a metal scribe if you can. Paint and other stuff will ultimately wear off.

how much toe out did you run? 9/16"?

[thrdeye]

Depended on surface. Usually about 1/4 out on asphalt, and yep at Peru or similarly grippy concrete I ran 9/16 to get the car to turn. Keep in mind that the WRX didn't have fancy diffs, whereas the STi does and transfers power better and usually doesn't understeer as badly as a WRX. I would be surprised if you needed as much as I ran, but it will take some experimentation and testing.

Doug at Firestone Alcoa is good. He did the Focus, let me come hang out in the back and ask him some stuff. Seems to be good at what he does.
