I've had a couple friends take their cars there and RAVE about them.
They're one of the best. With them and AI you can talk to them about how you want your car to handle and they'll have recommendations.

Most places are gonna put you at stock spec... which is doodoo.

So just a quick update.

As I said, I had a body shop roll my rear fenders which solved most of my rubbing issues.

Well curiousity got the best of me why it was still rubbing, so I pulled out one of my Rhino Ramps and started doing some chassis flexing to see how close and where it was rubbing.

I know i was offput by a previous poster's suggestion of a baseball bat, but i went and picked one up for 16 bucks. Holy hell does it make a perfect body-work tool!

using the balled handle-end to roll the lip all the way against the inside of the fender, i was able to get to absolutely zero rubbing. Hammered my usual hairpins on the commute this morning and had zero issues.

STOKED. And now I look to new front wheel bearings, and figuring out why my radiator burped coolant this weekend....

Speaking of wheel bearings, anybody have a love of beer, money, and access to a press?
