First off, awesome mileage on the stocker! Otherwise I would say map out the drive to cbrd in York. Bit of a hike from city center, but rt 30 the whole way ain't too bad. Get to see some Amish on the way

I'm in Chester County about 20 minutes from West Chester. Your friend does good work on evos? Does he fix suspension issues too?

thanks

RT Tuning in Lansdale I believe.

They do an *** ton of Subi and Evo work. Never heard anything bad from there though haven't been there myself.

I don't know the other shops but if you've seen the pics of the newish facility CBRD has I would travel to them if we were in the same state hands down.

Just wanted to say that I recently went to CBRD to have an Exedy Twin Disc installed and the price was very reasonable, they did a great job and I will be going back there for my tuning. I made it 95k on the stock clutch so congrats on making it over 100k.

Go to CBRD. They do great work. RT Tuning isn't horrible, they have great mechanics, but it may take a while to get in there. They do work on a lot of EVO's and STi's, but it seems like they are more worried about drift cars and cars that are stanced.

Forgot to add. RT is the best around for alignments. They also got a new wheel/balance machine. Just make sure they fill your tires with air and not nitrogen.
