Atlanta alignment shop?

I need to get my 87 coupe aligned since it veers to the right and vibrates at certain higher speeds. Where do you Atlanta Pelicans recommend I take it to get this done?
Thanks

Clay, I installed the turbo tie rod kit, and after checking around, I went ahead and took my 88 to the Porsche delaership (Ellis) for the alignment. Heard some follks were taking their race cars there. The price was very competive ($130), was able to talk to the tech about performance oriented set ups, they did it while I waited (with an appointment) and I was able to look at some sweet cars. (New Gemballa twin turbo!!!)

I second Gran Turismo, that's where most of the racers that I know take their cars, and they've been doing my bimmer for years. They're located in Tucker inside the Perimeter, should be in the phone book.

On-car wheel balancing and alignment runs about $160 if I remember correctly.

You could also call ProFormance in Marietta (since you are there)- talk to Reggie. He is currently a little behind but does a good job. My car is there right now, but I am behind a custom supercharger job he is working on.

Cool Alignment

Try Weaver Brothers in Marietta. They have been in business for years and do the alignment work for at least one Porsche specific shop.

Good Luck

Their is a small shop nested in an industrial park near downtown Roswell called: Perfect Performance. These guys do high speed balance, four wheel alignment, tire changes, shocks, struts, etc, etc. They are expert in high performance cars. I have taken my Porsche their several times.and was VERY satisfied in price and service. The owner is Dave Usher and his phone number is: 770/993-5777.

Atlanta Alignment

I have also used Perfect Performance and they did an excellent job on an alignment and balance.

Clay,

Did you notice a difference with the balancing?

It should make a big difference.
