    Wheel Alignment recommendations

    Lads,

    Have a friend looking to get an alignment done on his Porsche GT4 for an upcoming track day

    Front: Camber -1.6 to – 2.0; Toe zero, or slightly toe in
    Rear: Camber -1.4 to -1.6; Toe in.

    Is there someone you would recommend?

    Depends where he's based - Tom in Fahy's, Oranmore, Galway would be very skilled in this type setup.

    Always been happy with Discount Tyres in Blanch - could be a trek depending on where your mate is though!

    Would you rate them higher than Dave McCann in Coolmine?

    Is it just a straight forward alignment he's looking for or a proper trackday optimisation setup (corner weighting with the driver weight in the seat etc. ?)

    I would say he would be interested in a proper track setup with weights. He’s based in Drogheda but happy to travel.

    Thanks, I think he’s going to get some new shoes and head for Tom before a track day in September.
