Looking for a local race shop that knows 914s that I can take mine to do an alignment. It's been four years since I got the car, never aligned/corner balanced so i figure its time. Plus I can have them check the bushings and whatnot, everything looks tight to me though.
I also have a fresh set of 205/50/15s to mount on a set of Panasports. Most tire shops refuse to touch that size, especially a race compound. Any suggestions in North Jersey or New york west of the river? I've been to Eurotire before, good work but a little pricey. Hard to schedule time too. Any other ideas? |

I've heard great things about powertech as well. Had some dealings on the 944 side a few years ago.
It's just hard to justify spending $125 to mount tires that cost $500. Know what i mean? Thanks Tim! |

QUOTE(yarin @ Jan 31 2009, 07:34 AM)  It's just hard to justify spending $125 to mount tires that cost $500. Know what i mean? You want mount & balance for less than $25 a corner? Would you like some 39-cent premium to go with that? Mount & balance is gonna be $100 pretty much anywhere you go, especially if you're doing valve stems. After that, it's just a matter of how much experience and 'ambience' you want for your money. If you want the comfort factor of dealing with a professional shop that will not damage your wheels, a slight premium is a small price to pay (say - less than replacing a wheel, for sure...) If it's the differential cost that's bugging you, you could always spend more for tires... |
