I am thinking of putting my IMSA car on a frame jig and having it pulled totally straight. It was pretty hard getting the front suspension to line up when I installed it and the rear needs about an inch of spacers to get the camber right. I have not found anyone nearby that has a cellette bench to do the work. Will shops with other systems be able to get this done? This car has a 10 point roll cage in it, I hope to leave it as it and not cut any, but I guess I can replace some tubes if I have to. Can the experts give me some advice here about how to go about this or if this is a good idea. If you have been through this and don't mind sharing your experiences and costs it would be great. Thanks, John |
