themperor,
I've had very good experiences with Custom Alignment Balance and Brakes in Mountain View. They are the only shop that ever figured out what was wrong with an Audi I owned a number of years ago. They are heavily involved with racing and really seem to know what they are doing.

Also two places that have been recommended to me but I have not used for alignments are Roger Kraus Racing in Castro Valley and Kahler's in Dublin. I've used Kahlers for some work and they are great, but I've not yet had an alignment done there.

Cheers.

Sorry, just re-read that you were only interested in South Bay shops and cost.

The corner balancing and alignment that Custom Alignment did on my Miata with Bilstein PSS was around $200 4 years ago. Not sure how that equates to an alignment on a Porsche today.

Thanks

thanks everyone. I gave Custom a call in Mountainview. Very helpful and I think I will enlist his services.....now I need to decide....PSS9 or hopefully, pick up the CROSS set in the classified if it's not sold yet.
