Default 993 alignment in Montreal

I need to get my 993 aligned with a knowledgeable shop (kinematic the adjustment).

WeTune can do it but only in 3 weeks. I called Porsche Lauzon where I could have an appointment this week but the guy on the phone didn’t seem to know about kinematic toe... same for VAG Motorsports. Maybe they have the equipment and the techniciens are ok with 993s, but not the receptionist...

I would prefer to have the car aligned quickly as the handling is VERY bad. Do you know if VAG or Lauzon are equiped for kinematic toe adjustment, or any shop recommandations?

Thanks!

Just called Porsche Prestige... They have the equipment for kinematic toe and ask 350$ for an alignment while Porsche Lauzon ask 229$ but don’t know about kinematic....

Call Gregster at 514-835-1728. He works out of Grand-motors in St-Laurent and he has the 993 K-tool. Very reasonable prices and does perfect alignments. I'm actually going back next week to tweak some settings.

Thanks Kacey! I have an appointment with Grand Motors next week. He doesn't do the corner balance but from what I understand I don't need it for street use.

Happy you're getting your suspension sorted!! Everything I've ever read about 993 alignments is that it's best to get someone who specializes in them to get the alignment done. Otherwise you'll be back in 4 months for a set of rear tires and another alignment..
