New user here.
I'm DEFINITELY interested. $200ish is fine. I'm more concerned about the date. Can make any weekend but week days would be hard for me to hit.

Just bought a 97 SE-R and that "modification" is too good to pass up.

Beam Bending - One Year Later
It has been almost a year since Steve visited us in Atlanta and bent a half dozen beams, including mine. I put about 20,000 miles on my car since then and noticed a little extra wear on the inside of my left rear tire.
I put on new front lower control arms and tires for the convention (this weekend!!) and had the car put on a laser alignment rack. The left rear is towed in
1/32" and the right rear is towed out 1/16" for a total of 1/32" toe out. The alignment tech said this was perfect for the track. Thanks again Steve!! Pretty good for toe plates and tape measures.

BTW, how many alignment techs know that rear toe in tightens up a car? (that is NASCAR speak for understeer). This one did. He also set the front toe in by making an adjustment and then sitting in the driver's seat to see the result. He was in and out of the car at least a half dozen times before he was satisfied with the result (1/16" toe in).

See you in Savannah!

Steve Foltz is the beam bending expert. He lives in Colorado. He has a fixture that fits on the beam while it is in the car. In order to do a beam not on the car, you would still need the wheels on it or some other way to measure the toe during the process.
I have not heard of Steve doing a bending party in about a year. You can try to send him a PM to see if he is interested.
There is a shop in SoCal that also does the bending. You could track them down to see if they can bend a beam without having it in the car.
