2 questions: alignment shop rec's, spring compressor rec's.
Finally got my Dspecs to go with my RCE wagon springs after 2 years. Gonna install them with GrN tophats and camber bolts on my 06 wagon.
My questions:
1. Sid's was recommended to me for alignments in the past, theyve done 2 good ones for me but never to any specs or a 'performance' alignment. Are they good for that? What exactly to ask for or should I just provide them with specs?
**what I'm looking to do is fit my 16x8's e48 with 225's (RE-01-R) in there. Rear fenders rolled a bit, planning on camber bolts to help take up the rest. I dont have any autox or tuning needs per se, but I need the tires to clear and to align it so it will not tramline and will perform better.
2. Cant seem to find a proper spring compressor around, I used to rent the one from Napa on N Virginia, but theyre gone, other napas seem to have no knowledge of this thin-bladed compressor. Anyone got any suggestions? The RCE springs are progressive wound so theyre tighter on coil spacing and I would like to not scratch them up.
3. Who to recommend to assemble my struts if I cant find the compressor myself? I was thinking Cory, though we've never met, I'm sure he has access to a more proper spring compressor. All the parts houses and tool shops really dont offer anything that looks like it will work.
Input is appreciated.
