Default Alignment price????

Soo.. just wondering, how much did you guys pay for an alignment?? I installed coilovers about a month ago. Finally went to Sears today... apparently they cant align my car because im too low. They recommended a shop.. "Miami Chassis" theyre charging $240. Whats a fair price??

I went to a local place and they charged me $90. They did give me a hard time and said they didnt think they could get the car on the rack etc but I think its just more work for a lowered car for them.

Every place I've checked wants to charge 80-110 per alignment. But, I take my xD to Brakes Plus in Chandler, AZ. $48, and I'm out usually out in 30 minutes.

firestone is like 70 each and is like 130 for a lifetime alignment which is as many as you want for as long as you own the car.

You might need a camber kit, and that would be the only thing that would make an alignment worth $240
