Guys,
I'm wrapping up a major suspension upgrade on my '83 SC. I searched the board for recommendations to get a corner balance and alignment and found an old thread on the topic. It seems the places recommended don't offer the service now (HBL/now Porsche of Tyson's Corner doesn't offer corner balance - the service rep that I spoke to didn't seem to know what I was asking about, he thought I meant wheel balance and had to ask someone else). Autobahn was cool, but the guy there said he mostly works BMW's and doesn't offer corner balancing. He recommended Tiff's in Anapolis. Anyone know of a place I can get the suspension properly set up in the DC area? Thanks, Gordo |

There are many good shops in the area that does corner balance. I would recommend both ASG near Vienna and IMA in Chantilly.

Also Intersport. Most of the independent shops offer this.
Why not update your signature with your location.

If you're in MD towards Baltimore area, I'm 99% certain that TPC in Jessup, MD also does corner balancing.. Not certain, but I believe SSI, also in the Baltimore area, also does it.

I will make some calls in the next couple of weeks as my end of the project finally comes to end...
Also, thanks for the tip on the signature. I don't visit dorkiphus too frequently (glued to Pelican...). Gordo
