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)

I had my alignment done at Trapp's in South San Francisco and they did a great job. I just brought a stack of shims, told them the settings I wanted, and they dialed it in as I watched.
They have a really trick machine, using lasers and stuff. The tires rest on a sliding plate, so the suspension settles down without having to drive it around the block everytime. Ask for Anthony, great kid. But generally speaking, go to a Porsche specialist. Trapp's is one of those generic tire and alignment places, but I happen to know that they align a lot of Porsches and also sponsor a race car. |
