Just curious when I do eventually change over to F-Sport equipemnt what changes of the control and handling I would expect depending on which path I take? For instance how would the car perform if I were to simply do F-Sport springs only vs. F-Sport springs with the Blistein shocks for comparision?

Thanks

http://www.trulineseattle.com/index.html - It's actually this shop, recommended as one of tirerack's preferred tire installers. I had my tires installed and alignment done by him. I went to the Bellevue location and saw Byron - he really knows his stuff.
Dude, how much you got your vehicle alignment by them? I'm in the need of alignment as well, and i'm not fond of to go to places like meineke or les schwab.

$158.40 before tax for my car. Byron at Tru Line is experienced person - really made the car feel different on the road. When I looked at the records, I was suprized by how off the car was off (supposedly aligned when I got it CPO) in the original readouts and how good they came out reading the results after.

He can align the car to your requirements to suit your driving needs (such as general street use, racing, etc...) and would also factor in your weight as part of the alignment.

That's quite pricey comparing to Meineke that quote my car for $90 + tax. Thanks for your reply & i'll consider about Tru Line
