Just had my alignment done at Finsanto Automotive on Bandera Rd and all I can say is WOW!
I wasnt sure what difference I would notice but it was substantial. After the wheels and the drop there was a little vibration I was feeling in the gas pedal and the car overall, very minor but I felt it (It wasnt from the wheels). After the alignment it was gone and the car feels more solid and stable.
There arent many shops in San Antonio which can do alignments on our cars other than BMW. Finsanto is a relatively new shop and they have all the right equipment and tools. Apparently they do a lot of modifications to some racing clubs in the area as well.
Price was great, it was $79 an hour and it only took 1 hr for mine.
If you lower your car, alignment is a must!

Hi i got my car about 6 months ago m sport with 19" 172s, I was never happy with the way it drove very twitchy followed all the lines in the road it had only done 17000 miles So i decided to have a 4 wheel alignment done, Well i was shocked how far out the car was set up from factory. front wheels were toe in and the rear wheels, well the nearside was toe out offside toe in camber out on both sides. When the engineer set it up and i took it for a drive well what a diffrence the car was so much more stable tramlining was gone and boy does it handle goes round corners like its on rails i was well pleased well worth the £80.00 i would recommend everybody to get there car checked.
