I just got word from my local Grismer tire/service center that they will not perform my aligment. They took readings a few weeks ago and ordered the rear shims, and now have cold feet to do the job. Dang....I now must go to the Porsche Dealer in town, perhaps this will be a good thing, however, I once again was hoping to get it out and do some driving this week end. Oh well, at least they did not fuck it up ! |

If they got the shims, buy them and do a rough one yourself. You can get to within a 64th of an inch if careful. Make sure to weight the driver's seat with what you weigh. When you can find a shop that will do the alignment more precise then have them do it. On the rear the shims are for camber and toe is adjusted by moving the outer mount front/rear.
