Question Alignment/Corner balance shop in Northern California

I am looking for a good shop in Northern California that can PROPERLY corner balance my 73 911. Just put in adjustable spring plates, bars and bushings. Car is level but has a light front right.

Scott--
I've used Roger Kraus in Castro Valley - had them do the alignment on my '85 when I bought new tires last summer. Didn't do a corner balance, since I don't track the car though I know they can do it. They came very highly recommended from local PCA folks and I was not disappointed. They have lots of experience with PCars.

I'll second the recommendation for Roger Kraus Racing. After my suspension rebuild, had them do a full align and corner balance. Excellent work completed on time for the price quoted. No surprises.

Roger showed me the spreadheet tool that he created to take some of the guesswork out of indexing the rear torsion bars. They definitely know Porsches.

Another shop I've heard good things about is Custom Alignment in Mountain View. They're not convenient for me so haven't tried them.
