Hello,
I am looking to refresh the suspension on my '96 993 and looking for a reputable shop in Central NJ (I live in Ocean County) capable of installing struts/springs/bushings and then alignment/corner balance.
Appreciate any recommendations, Thanks!

Try Paul's Garage in union for a smaller shop. Just used them for my 993 and very happy with the results. Or Dave at Brother to Brother in Medford.

I recently spoke to Bodymotion (Ocean, NJ) and they claim to have experience aligning 993"s. If I recall the price was under $400.

Corner balancing? Is this car being setup for track usage with aftermarket adjustable suspension?

I only ask because based on other context, it sounded like a refresh of stock suspension components.

I intend to focus on the front end first. Control arm bushing, ball joints and sway bushings. For the struts, I will decide between Bilstein B8's coupled with the existing H&R lowering springs (#29953) vs going with the PSS10 setup. Are there any other components up front that I should address so that the front end is all "new"....The last step will be a full alignment and corner balance.

Tie rods usually tend to go and feel not as direct. So add that to the check list too.

All you have on your list will improve a lot the overall tightness of your front end.
Did it on my previous 993 and will do it soon on my current one soon.
I kept "street" components for bushings tie rods; I mean I did no go the "racing" direction.
Ordered parts between elephant racing and Pelican

Bushings for rms were "sport hardness"
Codes: 2290008 and 2290011

I've got PSS10 on my current one and like the way I can adjust them
