Since I have now replaced all 4 shocks and new rear springs, is it a tricky job to align a 914? Can a regular shop like NTB with proper equipment and no tech named Hans do a good job, or are there secret tricks and chants? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Depends what you are going to do with the car. Strictly street, Some street/ Some Autocross, All Autocross, Track.
All would dictate different settings. To answer the question Yes with the right equipment. and you providing the setting you want. To avoid the hassle make sure the rest of the suspension is in good shape. Ball joints, Tie rod ends, wheel bearings, The rear stuff should also be tight with suspension consoles and bushings. You can get the ride height as close as you wish. Adjusting ride height after an alignment is a step backwards. Car should be level fore and aft also side to side. |
