I took mine to Pep Boys, hung out with the guy as he did it. I think it cost about $40.

I had a thread here where I asked the same question. The folks on the board convinced me not to. Couldn't find the thread.

I read a thread on this on rennlist a week ago or so. It's doable with some special tools by running strings here and there and attaching arms to the bumpers and such. Looks like a PITA. My race shop charges me $240 a pop.

If I could find a competent shop to do it for $100 it would be a no brainer, I just don't think it's possible in this area (DC metro).

Have you tried [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ? I had them do a 4 wheel alignment on one of my 944s a while back. I don't remember how much, but thought it was reasonable at the time.
