Default Suspension Install, Bay Area?

I'm about to put a set of PSS10s on my '95 993 and want to choose the best shop to perform the install. I had new bushings/tires installed and an alignment done at Roger Kraus racing a couple of years ago and was happy with the work, but wondered if anyone has had more recent experience with them and can still vouch for them. Other options I'm aware of are David Graff at Borelli Motorsports (formerly of Performance Art) and Custom Alignment in Mountain View. Any opinions on these shops based on recent experience would be appreciated.

David Graff.

As I understand it, he was the best alignment/suspension tech at Custom Alignment (apparently, he was their resident Porsche specialist) before he went to Performance Art (now part of Borelli Motorsport).

I had work done at RKR in March - tires and alignment. When they did my suspension install in 2007, and when they did a strut replacement in 2008, Brandon was directly involved. The recent work was done by a young guy (don't remember his name), and Brandon was inside the office handling phones. I don't know, but I would guess that the young guy does the easy stuff, and Brandon would be involved in a suspension install. You could just call them and ask. I will no doubt go back to them in the future, I have not heard anything bad about RKR recently or ever.

I go to 4yourwheelz.net, Frank has always done great work at a good price...it's not a 'race' shop per se, but I go to him to get aligned after suspension work. Frank is a porsche guy...used to track one as well....
