Mark fixed the sagging right rear by fixing the "alignment" I had done at a shop here in town who convinced me he knew what he was doing....so I fucked up. Now where do I take it? When HPH had it done for me, it came back and I got uneven tire wear....tried the new guy....not so much McMark said he had to re-index the adjuster TWICE to get the RF down(it was so high it was pushing the rear Left down.....Damn, no wonder the car was handling funny....so I need to know who to take it to, as close as I can get to Pacifica....thanks.

Hey Jim,
This is the place I have heard the bay area guys swear by. I have not been there so it is only word of mouth, hopefully others will chime in. Custom Alignment in Mountain View Hope this helps, Jim |

He is in Pinole but John Holleran does them. But uses an outside companies rack.
He's in the process of building a 914 street/racer right now. At least it would be done right. |

I've used Custom Alignment for my 914. Good work, not cheap. Good communication, good results. Corner-weighting is especially not cheap, particularly when they wind up needing to swap parts around to get the weights to work out.

I want to thank everyone for their input on this, I finally made a decision and the winner is Custom Alignment, they are the closest one to me and they answered all my questions like I wanted. I just bought 4 new 195/65R 15 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position tires, so back to "standard" ride height and a bit narrower tire from my 60 series 205s, but I'm just tired of scraping on everything all the time.....also a little better gas mileage and the speedometer will humm at a lower rate.....maybe.....
