This is absolute crap. I have never heard of such a thing.  There used to
be a shop in Mt. Washington called Roache's Frontend and Frame. I had an
old Porsche 914 and put heavier lowered coils on the back which
necessitated haveing the front lowered to level the car. They put a sandbag
in the driver's seat with my weight in it and did a four wheel alignment.
The end result was fantastic. The car was so low it was like a go-kart. I
could get onto I-83 from 695 onramp doing 90mph weaving in and out of cars
without any effort. It was like everyone was going in slow motion.  Great
suspension shop. Most good tire shops in the area could do your work, I
used to like Klausmeyer tires and I think the one in Perry Hall is still
open. 

Now I am on Cape Cod and don't know what's good. I found a nice little shop
in Providence RI where the VW crowd hangs out. When I lower my GTi, I will
go there.
