Default Recommendations for shops in Atlanta to get coilovers adjusted

My tire is scrubbing at high speeds (especially corners) on the front passenger side. I believe my coilover needs to be adjusted but not sure. I do need a high-speed balancing as well.
Are there any shops in the Atlanta area (preferably Decatur) that can do this type of work?

if all you need to do is raise it a little (without corner balance), it is a super easy DIY. Just remove the wheel..and spin a coilover nut.

Could be a few things. Any thumping or unusual noises? Stick you hand and see if the fender liner is ripped

If you've never had your coilover equipped car professionally lowered/aligned/corner balanced (done all at once), do it. To get the benefit of parts you paid extra for just for their adjustability.

Grand tourismo in Chamblee. They are pricey but these guys are good when I comes to alignment and suspension adjustments. Had my 1990 Skyline GTR done there.

If you're going to DIY, as Vervish said it's quite easy. However you should measure it with a calipers or at least a tape measure if you want the car to sit squarely.
