UPDATE for bouncy Bilsteing suspension.
Just had Porsche align the car and all the bounce in the bilsteins went away. It was the alignment the entire time as I took the car in for Air ride calibration. Shop said air calibration is not possible, which I diaagree with. Don't know what to think now. However, I also had them do an alignment and when I picked up the car all the bounce was gone. So they rither calibrated the air suspension or the alignment fixed the issue. It was tracking almost perfectly straight before the alignment, sllight drift to the right, but after the alignment it's trackng spot on and absolutley no bounce. Rides like it did when new. Very happy camper.
s far as alignments go, Iusually have West End do my alignments on my Gt3 and RS4. took the Q7 and CTT there at the same time for alignments and both cars came back driving pretty much the same way they did going in. I thought something else is going on with the car as Darrin is the man. Well, maybe not as much with air suspension as the Delership got this car spot on, at twice the price. Whatever the case is, CTT is tracking like a cat.

It's a habit after rebuilding so many cars, any suspension work gets a whiteout mark along the alignment bolts, etc so that I know it's spot on when I torque to spec.

I did it in my garage. If you ever need to do it, you can borrow my Nitrogen tank and tools or you can come over to my house and we can get it done in a few hours. Have a BBQ and a glass of fine aged Japanese whisky.

However, I totally forgot to take it in for an alignment as it was tracking straight. Welll, pretty straight.

I meant how much did you pay for the alignment? Where did you have it done?
