I think someone once told me that Mike, over at Speednation has the scales. Mike is a good guy, although I’ve heard bad stuff about the shop. Maybe someone has positive experience with them can chime in. I repeat mike is a good guy, and an even better hillclimber…

I second all of the above with the exception of the shop rep. I have no idea how good or bad they might be. Only know that Mike is a nice guy and a better driver. I believe they have the scales to corner weight. You might not notice a difference on the street though.
