I received a reply from the place I had the alignment done .

I wrote back to ask them to complete the work and if any additional cost would be incurred.

Any final advice would be appreciated and thank you for all your help so far !

I would write them off and go somewhere else.

Just to expand more, I went to a Porsche specialist with race experience and they clearly knew exactly what they were doing. I'd go to somewhere recommended that you feel confident with.

For reference, here are my numbers. I have the maximum camber possible on all four corners, essentially zero toe on the front and middle of range toe on the rear.

Thank you once again for your advice !

Never used them but Center Gravity in the Midlands gets a very positive response on here.

I can recommend Wheels in Motion in Chesham. They've got a great rep and I've used them a few times in the past and they've always delivered a fab service.

I've been to CG four times with two of my cars. It's a 200 mile round trip for me. Hope to get my current car up there next year, which should give you some idea of how much I think it worth going.

If anyone from Hampshire is watching I'd recommend the Wheel Alignment Centre in Southampton. Nice chap, good kit and loads of experience (as you can see from the many pics of the nicer cars he's aligned printed on his wall).

Very reasonable also, £65 for full alignment on my 987.2 CS.
