Center Gravity

Having previously owned 17 cars, taught me the importance of wheel alignments. My 911 drives so good after having used Center gravity, that while driving the same roads in any car, having previously driven in the 911 on them, the memory alone puts a smile on your face. I write this after having acquired my perfect alignment over a year ago and I’m still this happy.
Center gravity took their time to unpick what an alignment which is perfect for me should look like, in a way that no other has before. Adjustments were made and different geometries were experienced across a period of time and weathers measured in months, and I live 3 hours away.
Everyone who drives her says the same thing “that’s a really well set up car. It’s so much fun to drive.”
Granted that all 911’s are very sensitive to geometry adjustments, but all the more reason to have wizards like these doing the hard work for you.

Incredible team right from holly on the phone to Pete and chris on the tools , a fountain of knowledge and a level of dedication that’s second to none

Having driven my car for 26,000 miles over the last 3 years I now have the car I always expected. Two separate Porsche retailers have checked alignment and told me it drives as we would expect a 997 to. Clearly they were comparing against other cars that were set up wrongly.
Peter has transformed my car. Great service from the Center Gravity team.
All the hype about you is very well deserved. I could not recommend you higher. Worth every penny. Not something you can say often these days. Thank you again.

I can't thank Pete enough as the work he's done to my 997.2 has transformed the way it drives. I know that sounds ridiculous and as a reader I would be skeptical too, but the difference is quite amazing.

In my ownership, I've had the car's geometry set twice to Porsche's specifications (following remedial work to dampers and coolant pipes). Over bumpier B roads, it used to feel twitchy never instilling any confidence, and I just thought that was how a 911 handled.

Following CG's methodical approach, the car was test driven, the behaviour then recorded and alignment checked to validate the behaviour. I had a suspected worn suspension component which Pete proved and the pair of arms were replaced. Once all other the components were checked and deemed healthy, we sat down with a cup of tea to talk about of the type of driving I was expecting to do in the car.

Once agreed on the setup, the geometry was applied to the car and everything was torqued up. It was then back out on the road to check the settings and handover.

The shock came when driving down a bit of B road, I looked at the speedo and honestly thought it was misreading. The ride was so compliant that it felt like we were travelling 20mph slower.

Echoing other owners, it's been the best money I've spent on 'sorting' the car.

My 996 was transformed - it is now the car I thought I had bought ! The geometry work done by Pete, Chris and Holly cannot be over-stated. My trip home was a joy - the Koni special adaptive dampers are spot on, just right for the age and dynamic properties of the car. Brilliant focus on me as the customer, how I drive and what the car does. Not enough stars to do the team justice.

I had heard lots of great things about CG via the Porsche enthusiast community and took the plunge. I didn't think the handling was as good as it should be given that my car is a 996 and despite the fact that I had already invested significant amounts of money in new chassis parts and a set of Bilstein B16s.
To book I just emailed and got a speedy and friendly response from Holly. I booked about 8 weeks in advance because I knew they would be busy. I received a quote and breakdown of what work was anticipated and she told me that they would be in touch nearer the time to reconfirm which they did. Holly was brilliant and patient with me because I had loads of silly and geeky questions.
I arrived on the day at 8.30 to be welcomed by Pete and shown to their waiting room and we discussed what I was looking to achieve. You can see everything from the waiting room and you are regularly updated and consulted at every stage. I can't believe how hard they work on their customers cars. Pete must have test driven my car about 5 or 6 times! I wont spoil the fun by giving you too much detail of what is actually done. But suffice to say they will get it spot on right for you.
My car is night and day different.
Don't hesitate. Just book it. Quickly before they get too busy and you end up on a 2 year waiting list!
Thanks CG!

Several friends have recommended Center Gravity so I took my TVR Tuscan in. I can’t express how much the car has been transformed giving me so much more confidence on the road/track. Chris patiently listened to what I wanted from the car and was thorough in analysing the issues. Stayed in touch to keep me updated with his findings and even provided a courtesy car.
It really was worth every penny and can’t praise these guys enough!

Booked in my 997 for a suspension overhaul and full geo.
Fabulous, professional service from Chris and Pete.
And really patient answering my questions and explaining what they were doing.

After many hours of work, testing, measuring and adjusting, the drive home was fabulous.

Recommended without hesitation. Only downside is arguably a relatively long lead-time on bookings. But worth it.
