Subject:H&R springs and Seattle area alignment shop recomendations?
From:Andrew Martin
Date:Thu, 16 Mar 2006 18:47:07 -0800

I'm planning to remove the H&R lowering springs from my 85 Transporter
single cab and replace them with the new Boge's offered by The Bus Depot.  I
am also replacing the existing tires with new Michelin Agilis size 185R14C
on Carat 6x14 alloy wheels.  I know I going to need a 4 wheel alignment but
my two local dealers that sell the Michelins (Costco and Discount Tire)
don't do alignment work.  Although I let them align my F250, I'm reluctant
to take this particular vehicle to Les Schwab.  Can anyone recommend an
alignment shop in the Seattle, King or Kitsap County areas??  Also, can
anyone confirm that the spec's for a 85 Transporter single cab are the same
for a Vanagon, or not?

Yes, the H&R springs will be FS when I get them swapped!  They appear to
make my single cab about 2-1/2" lower than my 85 Westy.
