Well, this is disappointing.. I got excited because I saw a response and thought it was going to be helpful.

Looking back perhaps I should have mentioned in the original post that I did use search. (I have included the screenshot below of current search). I also checked the: Tire, Wheel, Suspension forum along with Show and Shine section.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Nothing you did was wrong, but when you do a general search, you'll come up with nationwide results, which doesn't really help you for inquiries about local shops.

Instead, when in NTEC section, look to the upper-right and you'll see "Search This Forum," which limits your search to the subsection you're in (in this case, NTEC).

I can name a few really good local shops off the top of my head, and I'm sure there's plenty more (just Google for addresses, hours, etc):

Texas Track Works - Ft. Worth
Evolution Dynamics - Lewisville
Cobb - Plano
FQ Motorsports - Addison

I'm always helpful, once you get past the @ssholedness

Here's the sticky I mentioned:

I ended up going to Texas Track Works. Seemed like a nice group of guys.

Kyle was able to fit me in the next day, explained how the work was to be done. Seemed very professional, and pricing was pretty good imo $50/corner.

I haven't got to give it a full test, but driving home, and going around 1 loop definately seemed better. I'll know for sure in a few days.

Glad TTW got you squared away!

For the record we don't do fender rolling. I have a fender roller, but will only use it on race cars where chipping paint doesn't matter.

And I can show you how to cut enough fender to fit 315s on all four corners of an evo 8 when you really don't care how it looks as long as they fit. .. lol

I kid.. I'm sure anyone could show you that!

Glad you got it worked out. So... going to autocross now?

Pretty much. Jigsaw with a metal blade for cutting and a dremel with a cutting wheel for touch up.
