I only know of one place that I trust, but they are in Fairfax, VA and it is better to go during business hours. There is another place in Mt. Airy but I would have to look for the name of the place.

Let me know if you would like for me to ask some people in my other car club as they tend to get alignments done quite a bit for AutoX. Another alternative is to ask a reputable shop for a recommendation.

Where ever you go, be sure to ask for the shop to dial in specific alignment specs and request a before and after alignment printout. Also, be very picky and tell them that you are looking to autocross and that is why you need specific specs (most places tend to just get the alignment a little better than before the car came in rather than spending the time to do the alignment correctly).

You also need to find a place that cares because one of the bolts on the rear camber arm need to be removed in order to adjust and then reconnected for adjustment purposes. That is probably why the shop that you went to did not know how to adjust them.

Here is the place...York Automotive in Mount Airy. Several people that I know from my other car club have gone there exclusively for years (some are well known in the SCCA local and national levels). I'm not sure if they have the time to work on your alignment though, but it is worth a shot to contact them.

Yeah let me know how this turns out. I am in the Baltimore area and had to go to the stealership to get mine done. They too had no clue about the SPC arms but got it close to factory specs. I am dropped pretty far on TEIN SS setup with 16's so it's pretty low. I still have a decent amount of camber and toe but kinda gave up with the whole alignment thing.
