Default Custom Allignment

I was wondering if anybody has done the corner balancing at Custom Allignment and how much it cost?

Default Custom Alignment Corner Weighting

Yes, I used Custom Alignment for the 3 years I drove an Audi S4. I had them do two alignments (with corner weighting), install a custom suspension kit, remove the custom suspension kit (no fault of theirs) and then rebalance the car after all the experimentation.

Simply put, they were fantastic. Not "cheap" by any means, but worth every last penny spent. The S4 drove better after it's first alignment than it did from the dealer - and I really didn't expect to notice a difference, as I had never really thought there was a problem to begin with (my first alignment coincided with a tire replacement/upgrade, not because of problem).

I don't recall specifically, but I believe a full blown 4 wheel drive alignment with corner weighting ran about $200. The cost for an IS350 would be different (less) I would expect, due to the rear wheel drive configuration.

I had my iforged wheels road force balanced and the whole car aligned with corner weighting also. Think it was close to $300 or so but they know their stuff.
