I've had my alignment done at Wheel Works a bunch of times and have been happy with it. This is for a '02 aligned to factory US specs. That having been said, Auto Innovations and a few other places seem to be the most recommended here.

I'll try wheel works... I'm going to go for the us specs. But I'm going to want alot more camber in the front and rear. Do I just say oem specs but with more camber???

hmmm... I mostly concerned with getting the camber adjusted, where could I go to do that???
I did:
Front:
-1.5 Camber
0 Toe (If you are conservative you might want a little toe in for better straight tracking... but more toe in = more understeer / more toe out = better turn in and shitty tire wear)
6.3 Caster (just ask the tech to max your caster... you won't get more than 6.5 depending on your camber setting)
Rear:
-2.5 Camber
1/8" Total Toe In
These settings are a little more aggressive than the UK spec. Your tire wear does suffer with the camber adjusted this way. I get about 9k out of my rears... but I beat the shit out of them.
