Yeah, don't screw around with that guy; living in the Portland area, you are close to the best Porsche people in the country. Please follow TYPE 911 advise.

The alignment adjustment on the rear is done at the Spring Plate which is on the inside mounting point of the trailing arm to the unibody.

Default Wheels?

Are those the 45S wheels from HRE? If so, do you like them. I have been considering a set, but yours are the first I have seen on a porsche 964. Beautiful car.....

And yes, the rear is adjustable and you really need someone that knows what they are doing. The right adjustment will make your car track the way Grman engineers designed it. Unadjusted might leave you with abnormal tire wear, and worse, bad manners handling.

They are the Fikse FM5 Classic... I like them, but I would like to get a set of 19's.

One of those guys wanted 300 bucks to do an alignment. Sorry, but i dont have 300 bucks to do a temporary alignment till i get my suspension dialed in with the right stuff and the wheels that I want....
