Default Installing coilovers, what else while we're in there

Hey All,
I'm taking the plunge and beginning to think about the mods I will undertake on my 91 C4. The first one on my list is suspension. I'm thinking PSS10's and would love to get some feedback on where you all have had yours done in the SF Bay Area. I am looking for mostly a street set up, but want to take it to someone who has a lot of experience with corner balancing, etc to get the most bang for my buck.

also would love to know your thoughts on what else to do while we're in there. Common thought is to do bushings, anything else while we're in there? (see updated post #6)

Thank You

I have had really good experiences with Dave at Borelli Motor Sports in Santa Clara for all of my alignments, he does installs too.

FD Motorsports in Brentwood can get you great pricing on any suspension kit you want and has very reasonable shop fees for installation. They did two previous suspensions on my 993. Great guys. They don't do alignment but they aren't that far from either Borelli or Roger Kraus Racing in Castro Valley for the alignment.

Custom Alignment in Mountain View can do install, corner balance, and alignment.

Jerry Woods did my alignment and corner balance. He could also install. Great job.

Thx for the suggestions. I am planning to go to custom alignment for the install, etc.

I've got Bilstein PSS10's on the way arriving this week, and it seems like the agreed upon thing to do while they're in there is to replace the bushings. I'm considering elephant racing's control arm front and rear bushings in sport hardness and their rear trailing arm bushings.

questions....
1. Does anyone run this set up? And how do you like it?
2. Do you recommend any (while we're in there) additions to this set up?

Car will be primarily for street driving, potentially some xcross in the near future.
