Tracking/Alignment Options - North West

[mikeg]

Had an alignment check today (Cayman GTS) and both toe and castor are out. I wasn't impressed by the skill set so looking at other options in the North West to have it adjusted.

I know Center Gravity have a good reputation but its quite a trek, so any thoughts re someone in the North West would be appreciated

Unfortunately not in my region Mike, but you could try Ninemeister in Warrington who offer an alignment service. I seem to recall Twinfan (?) recommending them?

Ninemeister did mine. Speak to Peter and mention you're a PCGB member. IIRC it's about £150 for a full 4 wheel geo. Not as advanced as Centre Gravity but I've had no issues.

Thanks - booked

Nice one, as Jeff says I've used 9m for several years now. If you know what settings you want just let them know as you book in, otherwise let them do what they recommend.

If you want pointers on settings to go for just ask, Dan has a GTS 4.0 like yourself and I have a 718 GT4. Both of us had Caymans prior to our current cars, plus there are a bunch of folk on here (including Dan and Jeff) who know these cars in depth.

Thanks - would definitely be interested in any views on what the suggested settings would be for toe, camber, etc.

GTS 4.0 (2022) with the -10mm option (ie 10mm higher than standard !!) - just road use, no track

Just tell the chaps what you're after and what roads you drive, they'll do the rest.

Nice thing is you can watch them do it for you if you ask nicely. A good opportunity for you to take some photos of the underside of your car if that's your thing.

My own preference is have 0deg toe at the front and the Porsche maximum recommended toe-in at the rear. This gives a neutral steering front and the rear toe gives stability in heavy braking. I would also max out the camber all round with a general rule of thumb of having 0.5deg more camber on the front than the rear, if settings allow.

As Dan says though, just tell them you want a fast road setting and they can do the rest if you don't have a specific setting in mind.
