Looking to do aggressive street / track alignment, and install the Tarret links for toe and such.

I've used a local shop in the past but had a couple challenges with getting the toe right. I've also gone to Danbury and had good success, but it is a hike and a PITA to get there and back.

Any place really good and close to both Manhattan and a train to get there/back?

I have found that the Porsche dealer does in fact do a good alignment and can align it to your specs.

Deman Motorsports is 40 min north of NYC and as a bazillion race cars and does alignments all day every day. They did an excellent aggressive street alignment for me on my 996 GT3.

You'll find most of the places listed in the Metro Porsche "Post" are air cooled competent. We use TKX in Huntington Station which is a short walk back to LIRR. Taso and Richie are well acquainted with 993 set ups, dual use or otherwise---my 993 dances.
No relationship, but they're friends and we're loyal.

deman is good. I had protosport do mine and thought they did a good job.

Protosport maintained my C4S under the previous owner. I picked the car up there, VERY impresive fleet of track spec 911's filling the lot up there.

I have no doubt they know they're way around a 993.

Do any of these folks reccomended use hub stands for the alignment? My C4S was magic after my initial alignment by Joel Reiser, using his hub stands. Sadly, he does not work on customer cars anymore.

Yup...but there shop hour $ is another story...

JPS

Yes, of course, looked there and the long list of places. I was looking for some RL endorsements, not just a phonebook though. Looking to avoid the YMMV part

IamSMC

My take is that since PCA is a marque specific club, and most local vendors and shops have owners who usually are members of the local PCA chapter (Metro NY), and own Porsches too, its a good starting point.

"YMMV" disclosure because we live in such a litigious society these days

Fairfield County Motorsport is $330.00 for an alignment on my 944 Turbo. Anyone know how they can charge this much. The porsche dealer is $250.00

Dan Jacobs is much cheaper than that. They have WiFi so you can work while you wait.

Formula Motorsports in LIC. Easy walk to the subway if you work in Manhattan.

Thx guys. Went to Deman. What a great bunch of guys. On time, on estimate, easy to do business with, alignment feels great. Car is SOOOO much more conducive to family trips again without the trans mount.

Thanks,
