Just wanted to say, I took my car with its new coilovers to Lamb's Automotive (Sakura's father's auto shop) to get the alignment done over the weekend. A very good experience (and we get a 10% discount!). His father really took the time to explain things before deciding how we'd proceed with my alignment and based on the height and spring rate changes to the car.

How the car turned out will be determined this Sat and Sun at Road America, but despite, I would take my car back there again for more work to be done. I would definitely recommend anyone to take their car to him.

Thats good to hear. I needed to do my rear brake pads today, so I tried to put the new springs on as well. After fighting with the car for 3 hrs, I gave up and put it back together. I'll farm that out to someone else. It may be him.
