What do you guys think? Good enough to get the car to the alignment shop?

If you are going thru with doing any kinda measurements. put the car down /w wheels back on and follow this guys guide lines. http://raystrax.com/ha/index.html
Follow what he lays out for the 914. also Ray goes more into detail about corner wheighting on the 911 page. It's my .02 that if you have three to four hours to take a bunch of measurements then do this. It took my car from complete crap handling vibrating and wandering down the road, to a pretty well mannered car all the way up to freeway speed. All this from one session of measurement and adjustment. I can't wait to get some new measurements and see how close my adjustments got me to a more ideal suspension setup.... Unless you like paying people to do your alignment. I find the math kinda fun. |
