If you don't want to come all the way in I'd recommend Curry's Auto in Chantilly. There are lots of shops around ... maybe some of your FEWC brethren will chime in on their experiences. Throw it on their [Curry's] dyno as well to get some baseline figures

They did some work on my E30 that I was happy with.

Curry's has the $$$ new type Hunter rack too.

If you are looking for advice on setup for more than street you might want to talk to ASG in fairfax as well. They have experence with setting up late P cars for the track.

Terry,
Talk to Geoff at ASG. They are the guys for setup on later 911 models, especially Cup cars.

ASG installed tie rod ends and aligned the front end of my car just before SP last weekend . . . good or bad you have first hand experience of thier work (assuming the driver did the work justice)

Thanks, all. This is a great group. I appreciate the camaraderie (sp?) and advice.


Marc--is the car "taillights down the road," as the saying goes?

Another vote for ASG. They haven't worked on my 993 (yet), but have been great with my SC for corner balance and alignment. I have had my 993 aligned at Autotherapy and RPM and both were excellent.
