Default Recommendations for Los Angeles shop for light track mods?

I have a 991.2 GT3, and prepping it for some upcoming track time. I have been recommended a camber adjustment, and also interested in a center muffler delete and maybe lower a bit

(1) any other track mods one would recommend ?

(2) any local trusted shops ?

(3) i plan on hitting the track maybe once a quarter, 90% of the time will be street/canyons, so no roll bar, crazy over done camber that eats through tires etc...

Thank you fellow Rennlisters. Picture of the silver bullet attached !

+1. They did my alignment/corner balance. Danny knows his sh*t.

Can't go wrong with BBI either (if you're in OC area).

If I were you, I’d leave alignment and ride height alone (alignment works well stock and lower ride height risks punching struts through the towers - search on that).

If you want to change handling balance, sway bar adjustments are easy and cost nothing.

Joey @ Emotion Engineering by a mile.

When he was at b b i, he was the one doing the corner weights and alignments on my cars, he was the operations brain. Betim and him parted ways, so where Joey goes I'll go.

Werks II in Burbank: Galen Bieker and Timo, top talent.

I had cars serviced in plenty other outlets in the area, but my best experience was with Joey at bbi, and Galen/Timo at Werks II.

Keep in mind some tracks (Laguna Seca) have serious sound restrictions. Stock the car won't pass anyway so might not be an issue for you with center delete. And Popo now have the right to stop you at their discretion for sound even if you are in compliance.

If you don't always track the car. stock camber will do the job. Alignment is also not needed before the track. I'm assuming you will go to the local track like streets of willow or buttonwillow raceway. the stock setup is enough for now.
But After the track day, you will need wheel rebalance for sure. Hope this answer your first question.

secondly, Laguna seca, you won't pass it anyway at turn 6 or 8 I forgot . Just look for the sound booth, and left the gas and upshift. You will be fine, My car is around 114 dbi, Racing there no problem. Nobody really follow their rules on sound anyway, it will be stupid to convert the car just for that track. 90 db is ridiculous.

for the mod. If it's for the track center muffler delete is just for the sound of it. But side muffler delete will make the car sound better and delete lot of weight from the car. Also it will make serving spark plugs on your car much easier. It will take less than 15 minutes, At least this is about the time I spent to renew the spark plugs on 991 with side muffler delete. Very Very easy.
