After I put on the 205-50-15s on my 914, I noticed that I need an alignment bad (negative camber made the tire rub on the inside fender)
Anyone know of a good on in so cal? Right now the car is in Yucaipa, so I don't want to have to take it too far. I've added the shim's to the rear, and thats helped stop the rubbing, but its not nearly as precise as it should be. Thanks, Ben Matlock |

QUOTE(dw914er @ Mar 30 2009, 09:10 PM)  $450 is alot of money to me Me too! My good friend Mark, who has owned and operated Performance Independent Porsche here in San Diego for over 30 years, referred me to Jae Lee at Mirage. Mark told me 'full alignment' was around $300 with corner balancing (so he thought). But when I got to Jae's shop, it turned out that alignment (toe in and camber/caster) was $300, and corner balancing was another $150. I was not prepared to spend $450 on a 'full' alignment, but Jae comes very highly recommended, and when I saw his shop full of awesome 911 race cars... I kinda got the idea he knew what he was doing. It took him 5+ hours, as he does everything by hand. He weights the driver's seat with how much you tell him you weigh, and gets the corners balanced within 2 lbs of each other. He really does a fantastic job, and from what I have come to find out - $450 for this job is fairly commonplace, done correctly on our cars. |
