Are alignments that specialized on our 986's?

I never had problems until I had the CV boots replaced. I run 19's and the last shop---uh, misplaced---my rear spacers; life has not been good since. I am hopeful a new set of spacers and a correct alignment corrects the situation.

I guess I should clarify. I don't track the car 'yet'. I suspect next year I'll start doing some DE and AX with it, plus I am the Rally chair in my region and we start up in full swing next year. I am bringing the Box back on Monday and the shop will jump on it then.

Seeing as I do want to upgrade the suspension I'll probably do this in stages and get the M030 sway bars first, then purchase the Bilsteins next, then later have Musante install and set up the car. I might as well do it once and do it right.

alignments on this car are VERY easy. any shop with the new hunter machine should be able to do it fine in about an hour.

there are allowable 'ranges' the machine gives you for an 'in spec' alignment. within these ranges, there are good alignments and bad alignments. if you give the shop the numbers to hit, they should be able to do just fine even if they've never touched a boxster before.

My mechanic's shop has the Hunter DSP400 alignment machine, is that sufficient? I know they service lots of Ferraris there as well. Thanks.

Always tell the shop exactly what specs you want for each axle, don't accept "anywhere within the high and low spec".
