Dayton Ohio- Foreign Exchange in Moraine. Ricky there is a good friend of mine, almost all the people that work there are into motorsports. They have three different locations but Moraine is their main shop. Family owned, tons of experience on imports.

Newark, Ohio- My good friend from high school Anthony runs a small shop called "ASC AUTOWORKS" He does basically anything you can think of. Suspension install, brakes, engine tucks, shaved engine bays, tons of body work. He is a really genuine guy that will be upfront and honest with you. He does work by himself so bear with him. But his prices are great.

Foreign Exchange is decent, but damn are they pricey. I used to go to the one in Fairborn.
Now I go to Source 1 in Maineville, and they're amazing, and they specialize in Honda performance (notably NSX performance). Super reasonable and knowledgable. 30 minutes south of Dayton, though.

I'm looking for a shop in either Columbus/Central, OH or the Bellefontaine/Indian Lake area that can do the following for me:
Replace brake caliper, brake lines, and brake rotors.
Swap out one set of wheels for another.
I already have all the parts (powder coated and loaded calipers, brake lines, rotors, wheels) I've just run out of free time and need someone to do the install for me. If necessary, I don't mind taking the wheels to a second place to have the tires swapped over.
Anyone have any resources for this kind of stuff they can recommend in Columbus or Bellefontaine?

Following up on my post above...
I'd like to give a shout out to Japanese Automotive in Hilliard (located in Old Hilliard one block off Main Street). I took my S2k there recently for some brake work and they did a fantastic job. I had purchased new rotors, calipers, and brake lines with the intention of installing them all myself. When life got in the way, Japanese Auto was more than willing to take my parts and do the install for me at very affordable labor rates. (Note this wasn't a "clean up my mess" situation -- I hadn't started the work). No surprises, no extra charges, no upselling of more "must do" work. They just did what I asked for at the price they promised.
Even though they don't have tire mounting equipment in house, they were also willing to take my wheels down the street and work with a nearby tire shop to swap my tires onto new wheels. That was a huge convenience for me and they didn't charge me anything other than passing through the minimal mounting & balancing charges from the tire shop. (Watch the classifieds if you're interested in my old AP2 V2 wheels)
The icing on the cake - when the weather turned nasty while my car was in their shop they OFFERED to keep my S2k indoors for two days until the snow melted off the roads.
I couldn't be happier with these guys.

A service shop I've had good luck with so far is H-A Specialist in Cuyahoga Falls just down the street from me. They're an independent Honda and Acura specialist, and the owner Greg used to own an S2000 as well. They also have a few frequent S2000 customers; some modified and some stock, and they're my go to for anything that I either don't have time for or don't have the tools to do myself.

Looking for a shop that can help me with this suspension issue: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-un...sense-1173213/
One wheel is sticking out further than the other and I don't think a normal shop will be able to figure it out because 1, I can't figure it out, and 2, tireman couldn't figure it out. Probably need someplace that has suspension knowledge and alignment capabilities.
Thanks!

You have an AP1. My first guess is the Upper Arm mounts are separating from the frame rail. It's a TSB. Probably should go to a body shop so they can measure the critical body mount points. The top of the wheel is controlled by the upper A-Arm.
