If you're willing to come to NJ, we can do it on a Saturday (AZP Installs).
I'd also love to see your car now that it's put back together.

I totally understand. I will ask the guys at the shop if they have a recommendation that is closer to you.

Wait, was this on a Saturday? I vaguely remember a car coming in for this but it might've been a WRX.

A white 86 a few saturdays ago, don't remember the name of the guy that fixed my car but he was super cool and the girl at the front desk was super cool as well. I watched grand tour with another customer, it was a good time.

That's what I came up with but it isn't from first-hand or even second-hand experience. They may be worth a look though.

I think @bmacfrs told me there was one just across the md/pa line but i was dumb and forgot to write it down. I should also probably schedule an alignment first

They still do them, but were really swamped last year with the release of the new WRX. Might be better now. They aligned / corner balanced my car and I couldn't be happier.

Don't know how out of the way it is for you, but Gear One Performance in West Chester is top notch. Perfect alignment and whatever else you need. They may cost a little extra compared to some others, but worth it. There's also a nice view of exotics sitting around there every time you visit.

EDIT: I take that back... they're permanently closed. Damn.

EDIT AGAIN: But as a side note, looks like the main guy there moved to another great shop right near by: D'Antonio Automotive.

AZP installs or RT Tuning are your best bet now as a replacement, one of the guys from Gear One works at D'Antonio though but they seem to focus on a lot of jeep stuff now

Thanks for giving me the update. I'll have to take a look at AZP. I'm familiar with RT but have always feared that they are a larger well known shop and may not put emphasis on detail like Gear One did. But I've heard good things and since Gear One is closed, I will have to make a decision soon enough.
