Suspension specialist in GTA
Which shop in the GTA is the suspension specialist?
I am thinking about upgrading my suspension on my 964.
Need installation, ride height adjustment, alignment and corner balance.

Either of the shops above would do a good job... but can I ask why you want to upgrade? Do you know what upgrades you plan to purchase?
Have you checked the condition of all your bushings, ball-joints, sway bar mounts, and strut mounts already? Often they will need replacing as well... get those sorted first, or at the same time.
Corner balance... for the street? Waste of money. Set your ride height, set your alignment, and drive it. Have your alignment done yearly. With semi-fresh rubber you have more car and cornering performance than anyone will ever need on the street.

alignment yearly ? complete waste of money. once its set up properly it should stay unless you are driving over potholes constantly.
not to mention a good alignment and ride height could cost decent money to start with.

^ +1 Hunter installed the PSS10s on my 993 C2 and did the alignment and CB. Completely transformed the car.

I'd just make sure everything is fresh and get some really sticky tires if you feel your driving skill has surpassed the cars capabilities.
You can drop $10,000 upgrading the suspension.

If you checked your alignment specs annually, and it was always within spec, you consider that a waste of money? Checking the specs costs less than one new tire on any car P-car. Adjusting your alignment when out of spec will be more expensive, but duh... it's a performance car, it's not a Camry.

So complete "do over". I assume fresh tires also... just don't go too low. These cars work better at close to stock euro ride height. You may want to adjust rake or whatever based on experience, but lowering any car beyond a couple of inches introduces a whole new world of issues that can be time consuming to resolve.
