Default Bilstein EVO Installed -- Need Alignment Shop Recommendation
Just had Bilstein EVOs installed and took the car to Delaware Porsche for an alignment. I was told that they did not have the adaptor needed for my aftermarket wheels (HRE Classic 300s), and that they can't do it unless I put the OEM wheels back on.

Can anyone recommend a reputable alignment shop in the Delaware/Philly/South Jersey area? Thanks!

Obvious question but how did you get the wheels on without the adaptor?

I assume the adaptor has nothing to do with installing the wheels, but is needed to mount the alignment guides onto the wheel itself. It sounds like the alignment guides won't mount to HRE 300s.

On a more important note, @audiophilitis please post pictures of your car! I want to see more lowered 992 on HRE 300 classics.

Just picked up the car this morning -- here's a quick photo I snapped on the way home...

Sweet. Only if they didn't charge $1k for custom offsets for "custom forged wheels."

Wheels aren’t going to change the alignment. You could put the stock wheels on have them align it and then replace the aftermarket wheels.

Yes, thanks. Unfortunately, stock wheels are currently in storage at another location about 4 hours away.

Go to a race shop, they will set you up correctly and discuss camber and toe setting with you - even corner weight your car if you want to go that far.

Yes - having https://www.bodymotion.com/ in Ocean county, NJ do the alignment. I've used them before and they do stellar work -- but they're a 3.5 hour drive from me. Was hoping to find something closer to no avail. Thanks!

A little off topic but I wanted to chime in here to get accurate information out there - HRE does not charge $1,000 to order custom offsets for their forged wheels. Would you mind sharing a little more information on what happened in your case? Perhaps through PM to not get too off-topic on this thread?

My dealer aligned mine with HREs and I did not pay any extra for custom offsets either.
