Alignment shops in MD/DC area?
Virginia Spring and Alignment in Falls Church has always done a great job on my hybrid civic and they don't bat an eye at the lowered suspension, Z10 traction bars, or any of the other **** i've done to the car.
Most other places throw a fit over that stuff, F'in idiots
Va. Spring and Alignment is walking distance from the East Falls Church metro station also. Usefull for me since I work downtown.

Just called them. They said around 100 bucks w/o and camber kit and 275 if i don't have one. He talked about pulling the frame. Does that sound right?

Theres a place called 5 star auto. up this way thats where we take cars after 5 lug conversions and what not. Frame pull? That is expensive normal prices just to mount your car on a frame rack is about $400, and thats just to put it ont hte machine, not even making any pulls.
I use Allen Automotive in Silver Spring. A little, run-down looking shop that has gotten my toe to exactly what I want, spot-on several times. They shouldn't have a problem unless your car is extremely low. They were recommended to me by Radial Tire Co.

if you mean "lowered friendly" shops. I know NTB will do lowered cars but the ******* are expensive and always say there's something else wrong with your car. back when I had my ZC I had to have an alignment so i took it to NTB and the kid pulls the car out and is like "your car idles really weird!" I was like I know it's because w/ the jg cams it's getting more gas, but not enough air. the kid was like "NO! your running the wrong ecu THATS YOUR PROBLEM!" The ****** stood there and argued with me for 10mins. I told him he got payed to align the ******* car not diagnose my ******* idling problems

If the car is out of spec the will loosen the subframe bolts and make sure that the alignment is perfect. Worth the expense. They had to do that for mine once because my subframe was bent and I replaced it.
If you car isn't lowered too much (more than 1.5") you don't really need a camber kit. Don't let them talk you into it. Just tell them you want the toe-in to be within spec. Shouldn't cost more than $100 to $150
