Ok... I give up the wheel gap on my Boxster has to go. I'm going to replace the springs with Eibach's over the holiday break. I'm looking for recommendations/suggestions on shops that will do a decent alignment job. FVD will be doing the lowering, and Rhonda suggested Champion for alignment (~$275). Someone suggested Putnam Engineering (~$200). Are there other options? I recently saw Bello's ad in the Gold Coast PCA gazette, though not sure where I put the gazette now.

Thanks!

Champion did a very good job on mine...

Suprisingly, there is a shop in Pompano that has a good reputation for doing a good job on our cars. I believe they have been recommended here (or on Pelican) in the recent past:

L.C. Clark Tire

I would avoid Champion and Putnam.

Err...wait a minute. It's a Boxster you say? Try Pep Boys.

Why not?

Got my alignment done today @ Bello Motorsport in WPB. The alignment tech, Marcello, is a detail oriented guy and took time to ensure everything is just right. Even though the shop is a hike for me from Ft Lauderdale, it was worth the trip. Price was also reasonable. For anyone near WPB (or wouldn't mind the drive), I highly recommend Bello MS for alignment work.
Plus, Ernie Bello has a fridge stocked with different flavors of ice-cream. I mean... who doesn't like ice-cream?!?

Sorry Danny... I tried your Pepboys recommendation, but when they told me they couldn't find the ignition key slot on the car... I just had to move on. :P

Glad to see you used him,did you get a street or track alignment ?

yeah, thanks for the recommendation! I had the camber set at 1 degree (f) and 2 degrees (r) - it's not overly aggressive to run through tires, yet should be sufficient for the 4 to 6 DEs I do each year.

Maybe you can ask him in person at the South Beach Breakfast Club drive this Saturday. If nothing else, you'll get an answer, have a fun drive and maybe find other indy shop options (FVD and Rennsport-1 will be there).

Pat, I just PM'd you.
