I am getting my car corner balanced and aligned tomorrow. I am a total newbie at the corner balancing part of the process....

Should I fill her up, or should I go there with half a tank? Should I sit in the car while they do it?
How does Porsche do it at the factory?

Any advice?

 

Driver in car, half tank is good, take out what you normally would for the track.

1/2 tank is right. The shop will ask how much you weigh and put that much weight in the drivers seat. There's no need to sit in the car. They should also add air to your tires to mimic hot pressure.

 

+1 -- even before the alignment as well..

 

Are you going to Darin at West End? if not, well, you should.

 

Yep, that's where I am going. First thing tomorrow morning.

 

i know in the Japanese import world West End is the place to go. Is it still like that for German cars?

 

Absolutely! Darin used to work at Johnson's Alignment for Steve Alarcon. Darin did all the Porsches when he was there.

 

Well, she is done! Thank you everybody for your help!

We went for half tank and no driver in car since I am rarely alone in it anyway.

Here is the master at work:
