Hi all!

I bought my first Porsche a few years ago (a 2002 986). Having a blast with it! I've been AX'ing it about 4-5 times per year, and tracking it about once per year (I'd like to do more but that's all that my schedule allows).

The maintenance records indicated no recent alignment, so I took it in to get it aligned about a year ago. The service included free re-alignment for 12 months, I'm taking it in again before they year expires. I'm taking it to just a regular shop (Wheelworks).

Question: given the type of driving I do, should I request that they make any adjustments to the factory alignment? I'd love to get a bit more performance at AX and the track as long it didn't create significant additional wear on my new tires (Bridgestone Potenza RE-11s).

I've attached a picture showing the before/after specs from my prior alignment.

Thanks so much!

Charley
