I'm not sure if Harry's Spring will do something as small as an RX-7. Call them up, tell them I sent you but was not sure if they could do it, and ask. (519) 432-8687

Why would you think they'd do a good job? Just out of curiousity

They've been in business for a long time, primarily in the truck industry. I've been servicing their computers for 13 years and they all seem like good people. I'm just not sure they deal with small stuff but it's worth asking.

Hmm, I think I might just stick with the other guy, I'm not sure if a truck's understanding of suspension is the same as a cars. I'm not saying he won't be able to do it, I just think the other guy might have some better suggestions on how to do it better.

Maybe you should be more specific Sam, like what do you want from this alignment?

Mostly someone to get my caster right. I've talk to the guy you referenced and he seems like he could do it properly

I know what you do with your car , you may want him to do a nice track set-up along with fixing your caster troubles.

There are many solid alignment shops. They know their stuff inside and out and can set up any car to manufacturer's specs or better. But if you want an aggressive alignment that falls outside of spec, it is outside of their scope.

Scott at Can-Alignment.com is, as Jim says, one of the best. Tell him what you want from your car, and he'll set it up better than you would ever believe. Just sit back, watch in amazement, and then love driving your car.
