PFFFTTT.....
I didn't spend that much on a custom alignment by a large margin.
that's truly outrageous. Aligning a Porsche is no more complicated tha
aligning an S2000. They are fleecing you.
Geez to think I scoffed at $180 the last time I had it done at the stealership

Hi,
I agree with you 100%. I would never go to a dealership for an alignment. First, it isn't their area of expertise. Second, they charge too much. I would recommend an alignment specialist, not a Tire Co. or anything like that.
I use a company here which does a lot of Race setups, they can fine tune an alignment to suit your taste and driving style. Mine does a complete 4-wheel for $130 and they do it right the first time, every time. My Boxster is road tuned while my Esprit is track tuned. The Esprit is more neutral because it's setup is not compensating for the crown in the road, like a road alignment will. On extremely crowned roads, I get a little pull, but the benefits on the Track outweigh this.
Remember, an alignment can benefit you much more than removing an annoying pull side-to-side. It will extend the life of your tires, aid in MPG, and give you better control and braking, especially in wet or low-traction conditions, making it a safety issue as well...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
