promise this video will teach you everything you need to know about performing your own alignment. Instead of using the smart strings, you can use jack stands to "make the box" around the car.[/QUOTE]

ah thanks for that Brad! I'll check it out. I think I'm going to pull the eccentrics out and inspect them- the camber ones wouldn't spin all the way around in both directions on either side but they'd max out IN or OUT so I didn't worry about it.

UPDATE; The eccentrics seem fine so I bought and installed Speedpro's adjustable toe rod bars. Car then was aligned without any probs and all is good to go. The rear suspension on these cars have a narrow range of adjustment. 5/8" beyond standard (Porsche offered) and you're in a heap of trouble! They are engineered to the nth degree!
