Dang!
Makes me wonder about your hangup with DT? I know they're not all the same, but my local DT in Granbury does an outstanding job with balancing, pressure and lug torque. They're downright meticulous.

Nothing like the whine of a SC at full throttle!
Tire Balancing question
Just another story of clueless mechanics. Sorry it happened to you. My friend used to have a w124 Mercedes and the mechanic his dad took it to charged them $500 to install a cheap Chinese alternator and starter. The wiring was done with the twist and tape method. Charged them $1200 to install a $150 oil pan replacement kit. When it came around to time for shocks, they wanted $1500 and I gave in and did it myself for $250, price for new KYBs included. It's just ridiculous some people out there. The problem is that 95% of the world views their car as a tool exclusively and never look under their hood until their car breaks down or won't start. I'll try to figure out an equation for tire pressures tomorrow.
