i might be able to borrow the torque wrench from my cousin

i'll see if he has a spring compressor as well

i know he doesn't have jack stands

 

Not talking about corner weighting, just simply weighting the driver's side.
Usually get my alignment done at Cars & Concepts, and they'll allow me to sit in the car while it's being done or just weight the seat. While not large, there is a difference when weighting the driver's seat. If I could get the same thing done at Mastro and they'd allow me to spec it to what I want, ~$50 is a pretty sweet deal.

 

ESE, yes I carry TEIN and most everything else Subys use. Just give me a call and tell me what your looking for. As for install, we can most certainly help you except for the alignment, sorry. I dont want to list all the brands we carry that are Suby specific b/c I dont want to get booted off but if you e-mail us we can send you our Suby line card. cue@tampabay.rr.com


I know I'm the new guy on the block but my comment was directed more towards the guys that have already used me...more of a jab...nothing nasty. Those who have met me know I like to joke alot...its all good

 

Torque wrench: If you plan on wrenching on the car in the future, just plunk down the money for one now. I've gone through a number of the Sears one's and think they are absolute shit. Lowe's Kobalt line is holding up well but by far my favorite is my Snap-on one. You'll actually need to get two, one for high torque apps, another for low, but the low isn't really needed until you get into the engine.

Spring compressor: You can pick one up FOR FREE at Discount or Advance auto-parts. Just put down a deposit, use it, bring it back, pick up your deposit. Simple.

Jack Stands: Again, if you plan on wrenching, just pick up a set. They're cheap as hell and once you have 'em, you'll use 'em more than you would've thought. Just make sure that your floor jack has the lift to get the car up high enough.

 

all my good tools are back home.....

 

I will supply my shop again, if you guys help me with my Stoptech BBK. I need someone who knows how to bleed the brakes and give me a hand.

Let me know,

Leroy

 

Tein springs or Tein coilovers?

 

They did a performance alignment on my car. -1.5* camber rear, -1* front. Toe at 0. I believe the NASIOC special is $39.95 but I could be wrong. Maybe they run a TR special too

Leroy: Let me know how those brakes work out... been thinking of getting some Stoptechs myself.

 

update:

i have the springs now

NEED the labour still......

craig-- you were gonna cal me back, and i havent heard from ya yet.

what's up?

es

 

If you still need an install, call XAT racing (813-875-7223) and tell Nick or Casey that I (Mike) sent you. If we have a time you can swing by, I'll be more than happy to bang it out for you real quick.

As for alignment, we go through a shop down the street that works on race cars that can do corner balancing, but it is usually a fairly expensive service. If Opie or someone has a set of Ruggle'Scales or other cornerweighting devices, that will certianly be the cheaper option.

FYI - We are in Tampa off of Dale Mabry on South Ave. - somewhat local to Clearwater.
