looking for a good shop in the north bay

Im looking for a good shop in the north bay Im located 45 min north of sf mainly looking for a suspension specialist I want to get this car to stick to the ground while putting decent power down. I plan on getting all the cusco power and body braces, debating on what coilovers to run looking at cusco sport zero-3s, eibach r2, or kw v3, and waiting on Bilstein b16, tires Im planning on running are the mich pss 245/35/18 front and 255/35/18 rear i dont really want that soft of a tire as this will still be a daily driver, but if i have to run softer to get it to plant then thats what i gotta do i just need some help finding the right spring rates and roll bars i dont want a dramaticly hard ride either.. someone point me in the right direction.

It really depends on your budget. I pick RS-R or KW

I have RS-R on my car and everybody that rides my car does not believe that i have coilovers on.
