We use Tru-Line, four corner balance and alignment around $650. Rich did you call them?

Ya thats where I ended up. @jsaum Collin did my LE but hey were a month out.
Tru-line were good to work with but it took them two tries to get it right.
1st time they dropped in in the weeds!! So low & such aggressive rear camber the rear shock damping was non-existent. 2nd time I guess they had adults work on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

You shouldn't have told them to make a low rider out of the 914!

Never had my car corner balanced. Just adjusted it myself based on the ride height I wanted. Now I wonder if it would make a difference.

It'll make a difference. How much youll notice.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ?
Consider they place a weight to approximate YOU in the drivers seat to balance the suspension ~
Not sayin you are large or anything (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Corner balance does make a difference if you drive them hard. Otherwise? You won't notice it. I can tell the difference when autocrossing and how and which corner starts to lock first under hard braking.

Take a good look at the underside of the car, I suspect that there is significant rust and previous damage.

When you're in the neighborhood, check out Skate Creek Rd. East of Elbe a few miles. Mind the blind corners.

Wish I had seen this. Since putting street tires on the car, I discovered how darn nice it is to drive. Even with stiff suspension and race seats, its still a great driving car. With the Hoosiers on it you could feel when you drove over a dime, but the street tires are more forgiving.

"Holy Smoke"
F'n Rocky decided yesterday to meet Allah & collect his 72 virgin Rodents ~
Bastard took out the entire cul de sac
I had a lot of work to do, instead I had to go out & rake leaves until the Pwr. Co. showed up hrs. later.
