it is when they put independent scales under each wheel and get the car dialed in with driver to be balanced.

I would call around to a suspension performance shop they should have the equipment. We do it at the shop now because we all were getting into road racing.

I would go with Bishop Motorsports in Avon, CT. It's pretty north in CT, so it shouldn't be far from Mass. They did my car and were one of the best shops I've ever dealt with. Amazing dedication to the art of making your car handle perfect. They also have tuned some of the fastest auto-x cars in the area.

I hope not!? I just went to them for the first time this past October. Their website is still up and doesn't say anything about them closing.

I would try ACS Racing in Hanover, MA. I couldn't find anyone in NY/NJ to put a Ground Control kit with adjustable shocks on my Cadillac CTS-V. So I went up to MA to have it done. They did a very nice job.

Their info: ACS Racing, 74 Industrial Way, Hanover (781)982-9434

They are also very well known to bend you over,rape the hell out of ya,and kiss ya while you leave. ACS is known as the worst shop in Ma and has a huge history of ripping people off..
