I’m hardcore DIY until I die, but the cost of good tools and the space required has always kept that stuff out of my garage. I would LOVE a big press though, one large enough to compress struts.

Road force is the way to go. My 911 like all G body 911s have sensitive suspension. I could never get a tire shop to do a proper perfect balance for the 911.
We have a local Porsche repair shop that has a new state of the art road force balance machine. It is $60 per tire, but to have zero vibration at any speed from slow to 125MPH (On Talladega Super Speedway) there is just no vibration.
