GOOD alignment shops?

sup guys ... I recently got my new brakes on and my alignment is terribly messed up.

Anyone know of any really GOOD alignment shops? ... I do NOT want my SSR rims scratched but some ghetto machine ... especially since you really can't buy them anymore from tirerack (or anywhere else really.)

I used to goto Darin at Westend alignment, but he is booked for the next couple weeks ... I was wondering if anyone knew of any really professional places where I can possibly get one sooner than that.

well, we removed the whole knuckle/caliper/rotor assembly from the rear and just the front rotor/caliper assembly on the fronts ... I'm not sure if the fronts are off (but my steering wheel now is for some odd reason) and my rear camber/alignment is DEFINITELY off.

super autobacs? eh ... I'm looking more for places that don't have unenthusiastic techies working on cars ... more like suspension specialists ... (like darin@westend

)

F'CK firestone ... I got my alignment there once when I had my 02-03 Si rims and scratched the HELL out of them...

well, apparently Darin@westend is book for this entire month, so I did some searching and I found a place close to me that is supposed to be pretty good ...

Clark's House of Suspension in Lake Forest ... hopefully they won't scratch my rims ;( ;( ;(

I went to clark's house of suspension ... they seemed okay.

I called westend 2 weeks ago and he said he schedule was booked for the next 2 weeks... he said call back on Wed at 830am. I forgot and i called at 11 and he said it was booked for the rest of the month ....

so I went to clark's.
