I am looking to sell my 02GT and have some light suspension work that needs to be done. I'm in the middle of moving so don't have any of my tools up here, but need about an hour of work from someone reputable.

Anyone on the north side of town?

I had it lowered and installed CC plates, but realized that I left out one of the spacers as the nut is bottomed out. What I need done is to remove the top nut off of the strut, pull the top out, drop a washer or two over it (on the underside of the cc plate) so I can tighten it all the way without running out of threads....

I've only been up here for a few months so I don't know of any place to go and damn sure don't have any of my stuff up here yet.... I didn't want to go to the "shady" places and figured this to be my best bet on finding someone...

Thanks for the quick responses.

Brad's custom auto, they do lots of chassis/suspension for mustangs and vettes, they have a few dedicated racecars too.

Another vote for Brads.

They are knowledgable and have helped me via phone several times.

I never realized how close they are to where I live.

Turns out it was a bit more than that....

Just got back from Brad's (nice guy, great work!) and it was worn out bearings in the caster/camber plates. He hooked it up.

well if you could get your head out of your ass for a few moments, you might've realized that sooner!

I may have my head stuck, but at least it always smells like roses
